- A documentary from around 1988 detailing the poor state of the UK's air traffic control at that time. The very busy London Terminal Area airspace was controlled by an old IBM computer that failed regularly. There were several near misses at this time including one involving Concorde on flight Speedbird 1. Lots of shots of aircraft including various Boeing 747s as well as being an interesting piece of history. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!
Broadcast by BBC2's "Horizon" on 15/02/1988
That was Aviation transportation back in the golden age, imagine now.
The military determined when there'd been a near-miss? And only if a pilot, not a controller, reports it?? Oh. My. Gawd.
A very 'old school' gentlemanly way of doing things......
Brilliant.
