North One TV, who are in the process of making a programme outlining the
design, specification & the crews of the WW2 Lancaster bomber, asked our
club to help with a CW sequence during which their anchor man Guy Martin
would familiarise himself with the vintage Marconi R1155/T1154 & send a
short message in morse using a ‘bathtubâ€Ö key. Quite a tall order for a
man who is an ace on a motor bike but has never touched a morse key in his
life before or operate a vintage radio!
Our club team decided to set up a temporary station in the control tower
using the call GX5FZ & Guy would communicate with it from our nearby
Lancaster facsimile station, equipped with a serviceable R1155/T1154 in our
East Kirkby ‘Shackâ€Ö using the call GB2CWP. Guy, as you can imagine, was
full of enthusiasm, determination to get the job done to the best of his
considerable ability & very easy to work with to boot! He soon came to
grips with using the key & sent a short modified morse ‘greetings messageâ€Ö
back to the control tower during a sequence of three messages. It was great
fun from start to finish involving filming in ‘shackâ€Ö & in the control
tower.
We enjoyed working with the TV crew & look forward to seeing our short clip
in the finished article due to be screened December this year in time
before the 80th commemoration of the first use of the Lancaster on WW2
operations in March 2022 & also before the restored ‘Just Janeâ€Ö takes to
the sky!
Our team comprising Tom (G4OSB), Roger (G3PVU), Steve (G6TVP), David
(G1WVO), Andy (M0KED) & myself Peter (M0EJL) did a couple of trial runs
before the filming took place on Monday 20 September & were pleased when
all 6 of us passed the covid 19 test, allowing us to work with Guy & the
film crew later that day. Â
Our thanks also to Amy Rolf, the producer & to the Panton family for all
their help. ENDS
