RNLI Harbour Event During Gala Day 1960's - Seahouses, Northumberland

** PLEASE NOTE - THERE IS A NEW IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS VIDEO TO VIEW
HERE:    • UPDATED - RNLI Harbour Event During Gala D...   **

This footage is from an RNLI Lifeboat event held on a Gala Day in Seahouses harbour, Northumberland.

My grandfather, T.S Henderson will have shot this footage, however I can not give you an exact year - looking at the clothes and cars, maybe late 60's or early 70's? Leave me a comment if you have any suggestions.

The crowds on the harbour are amazing, and todays health & safety regulations would never allow that Westland Whirlwind helicopter to carry out these manoeuvres today!

The original footage was of an extremely low quality.

The resolution is only 720 x 576, there was a lot of grain, noise, and frame jumps.

After getting the original footage digitized, I have edited and enhanced it using several pieces of modern software. I tried upscaling it, however too many artefacts were introduced. In the end, I left it at 720 x 576, however have attempted a little denoising and sharpening.

This cine footage is from the personal archive of T.S Henderson, formerly of George Henderson & Co, Kelso.

It has been digitally restored by his grandson.
