\n\"1951<\/a><\/p>\n

Cliff White<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unmistakably, third from the right, smoking his ‘trade-mark’ pipe, the great Jack Belasco.<\/p>\n

Mike Giles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How right ~ Jolly Julius Jack Belasco, as I remember him being fondly referred to! One of the BBC\u2019s more enlightened characters, particularly for the era ~ the type you would have gone through hell and high water for. <\/p>\n

Malcolm Walker<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Faces recognised are:
\nArthur Reed cameraman who is standing behind the camera centre and behind him the electronic maintenance wizard E. R. Barnes.  <\/p>\n

Both of these chaps moved North with MCR 11 later that year.<\/p>\n

Alec Bray<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Arthur Reed, I\u2019m sure,  spent time as Senior Cameraman on a TVC Studio crew round about 1964-ish.<\/p>\n

Peter Cook<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To the right of the middle camera, the person with the patterned jumper is Duncan Anderson.<\/p>\n

Mike Jordan<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Ron Chown in the grey suit behind the RHS camera. The vehicle was PTA1 (Powered Transmitter Aerial) KGA 565 and PTA2 was KGA 566.  I worked on that in the early 1970s.  It had a big generator inside capable of powering the scanner and an opening side where we jokingly served tea!<\/p>\n
