An update for 6 days – the siege of the Iranian Embassy in 1980

Methinks the budget was cut back in the UK (they did most of the shooting in NZ) and only spent a couple of weekends, and a few weekdays in between, at Princes Gate.  No money to either hire a scanner (I had pointed them in the direction of LPU-1) or build a replica, even though I found them a lorry on eBay!  They did take my advice and hire Marconi cameras from Golden Age.
