Wonderful archive here - both of BBC OB’s Colour Roving Eye (the #Tracker of its day!) and around a busy BBC Television Centre in 1976.

#OnThisDay 1976: Blue Peter's John Noakes bravely climbed aboard the roof of a Citroën DS Safari to demonstrate the BBC’s mobile camera technology.
2 of 4. Lovely Sunday at the Guild of Television Camera Professionals ( @GTC_TV) 50th Anniversary celebrations at STEAM in Swindon.
Some great exhibits - among them was the excellent recreation by Paul Elkington of the 1992 BBC OB #Citroen XM #RovingEye

BBC’s 100th Birthday today - so a good reason to dig back through the archives for various BBC OB photos I’ve taken over the decades: 4 montages from the 1970’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s (until the OB division was sold in 2008)
Happy Birthday!

Lovely to see #MCR21 - the restored 1963 BBC OB Scanner/control room - on display today in front of New Broadcasting House in London and hear from the always friendly team.
Their website - with some great archive - is https://t.co/daHFMSTFt3.
