One of the most innovative exponents of sound location shooting, Peter Handford, died last month at the age of 88. His work on British New Wave films such as Room at the Top and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning established him as a master of his craft which was eventually recognised in semi-retirement with an Academy Award in 1985 for his work on Out of Africa. Tony Sloman has written far more fully about his life and career in today’s Independent which also mentions his numerous sound recordings of steam trains. This collection now resides in the National Railway Museum in York.
