Good spot! Saw at least one of my radios on display there too! (Didn't know they had any! )

I've got around 70 of my radio collection on loan to the BMFA at Buckminster and they are in display in the reception area, alongside a fantastic kit collection and an engine collection (the kits and engines aren't mine).
The sets I've got on display range from a 1949 ED Tx, Rx and escapement, through 1950s ED sets, then a mixture of the popular S/C, reed, GG and propo sets from RCS, Spengbrook, Skyleader, Staveley, Swan, Horizon, Futaba, MacGregor, JR, Flight Link, ABC, Remcon, Kraft Graupner Variophon, OS, Sanwa, Waltron, Controlaire etc. And of courses, I couldn't forget you Pete, so there's a 35MHz Talisman and an UHF Talisman. Somehow the UHF set finished in the same cabinet as a Reftec, sorry! And I've even got one of Phil's favourite set, a GEM 4 (he always calls them a toilet seats, which I think is unfair on toilet seats).
I had meant to visit this year to swap some sets over to freshen it up a bit, but it'll have to wait until next year now.

Would like to watch it but viewing from outside UK is not possible due to "rights issues" 
& nothing on boobtube less then weeks old.
Is there a recording available elsewhere?

If the VPN doesn't work, I'll download it with get_iPlayer and upload to YouTube
