Nice one!  pity about the quality but still good to see this film footage 

[Bruce Nicholls]

With the silent reporting from I think Richard Baker could this have been filmed off a news report?

Hi Bruce - It is Richard Baker doing what may well have been a live broadcast.
Heading off to find out more - i.e stuff about TV coverage (with sound!) of the Launch!

This is a spectacular angle of the launch!  Thanks for posting Rosie!!!

Wonderful film, despite it being silent. Imagine the atmosphere!

[Rob Lightbody]

That's incredible! Shot from on board too!

Richard Baker's broadcast from the unfinished aluminium deck of the QE2 must surely survive somewhere?

This needs a plugin - not something my laptop has!
Is this the same as another BBC recording - or is it one that belongs with the silent film above?

and another link…
