![]() ![]() 20-minute recruitment film for volunteer ![]() National Hospital Service Reserve. Taken from ![]() COI Collection Volume Six: Worth the Risk?. Can't find an online copy, but it's fairly wooden and no vehicle action apart from what's posted. One reject - an early Wolseley 1500 Mk1 ![]() Early 1960s TV ![]() |

What's the white car on the "Worth the Risk" image? |

Possibly a Bush? I couldn't find a match. |

Bush was very common in UK in early 60s - our first one was a Bush which I can just about picture in my mind with 2 knobs and speaker underneath the screen like this (though might have been a slatted grille over the speaker mesh), and it was dark brown with rounded square shape (bakelite??), not a wooden cabinet and possibly smaller. A sort-of-memory that they bought it while I was in hospital having my tonsils removed, so August 1962. But I guess most early UK TVs were similar style and I was very young then. |

Looks like what I remember. If that's mid-50s, maybe ours was 2nd-hand ... We had a family friend who was a Bush dealer, so everything we had came from him - radiogram, first transistor radios etc |
