DF-66 BBC Pictures
These pictures from Adam Pope, his father was a cameraman on a BBC project at Pole in
1965-66 to film Robert Falcon Scott's son Peter on the ice, for the production "To the
South Pole with Peter Scott." The photos were sent to me in 2003 and our correspondence
was aborted when my laptop got stolen from the Byrd Polar center at the Ohio State Uni-
versity.
I didn't do much with this page yet, it was originally created asking for additional
info. I don't think Peter is in any of the pictures. And I never found out the signi-
ficance of the balloons...
