The Band III aerials referred to were intended by the BBC for a BBC2 service. In the end, this never happened and Band III was used for ITV. BBC2 didn't start until 625 lines/UHF came.

@@old0trekkie Thanks for the info. I visited Crystal Palace transmitter site once in 1969 when I was with the BBC Communications Dept. At the time there must have been odd tropospheric conditions as many of the receivers used to monitor the relay stations were receiving Dutch TV. The engineers on site said that this often happened.

well contrary to your weird death fantasies involving blue collar workers putting themselves at extreme risk, things do still get done today - with more efficiency than they could even hope to dream of in the 1950s thanks to over half a century of engineering and construction evolution. also, they still had to go through the proper processes back in those days. do you think they just decided to build a tower and nobody would notice? no, they applied for building permits the same way we do these days. the main difference is that health and safety was not as strict back then, therefore a lot of people got unnecessarily injured or died in those days

@@kh-ro5su Don't make me laugh! Local to me a stretch of road no more than 1.5 miles long, a notorious local bottle neck, was recently widened to dual carriageway. It took SIX years!!!! The M1 motorway was constructed in 18 months!!! And what about HS2, way over budget and running way over completion date. Same with cross rail and Hinckley point C. Seems the more advanced and efficient we get, the longer it takes to complete anything!!

​@@turboslag in Germany Frankfurt they build 4 skyscrapers in Just 5 years, tallest tower in 233 meters in height. It is the Four Project, this one here is just a steeltower 219 meters tall. Nothing in comparsion to a Building, stil great, i love steeltowers but why have so many another countries to struggle with projects today.

Nope, the Bilsdale replacement transmitter took about a year to build, and that included getting approval in a conservation zone. Naturally no PPE no job is one of the most sensible things that ever happened, people's lives used to be worth nothing and you could be easily replaced, bung a bit of cash to the next of kin and all was well. Luckily people's lives have value now and as such health and safety is much more important.

Yes it is and situated in the South East of London I live two miles from it.

@returnofthegmac9203 Hello, and thanks from Bayonne, NJ. It's great that the tower is still, even today, helping folks with modern technology. Fascinating! 😊

@@kaykiekid You are more than welcome This is the Tower today ua-cam.com/video/9POPC1iLudQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ovY2KuMgwp1nP4fe Enjoy

@@kaykiekid This is how we are talking too each other 👍

it still stands, operates and remains one of the tallest structures in london
