Yes you are most probably right Christian, sat Com? sat com? not in those day's dear chap, she did however have a large aerial array which appears to have been removed for the voyage not sure what you mean about camera's, the "thing" on the wheelhouse roof is a Radar Scanner, she may well have had an extra genny at sometime to power the camera's and the transmitting station. It's not unusual to revert to a former name for a delivery voyage and is done today.

This picture shows her with 3 cameras, in service with southern TV. No radar equipment and a hell of a lot of radio gear. How about the idea that it may be for transmissions of picture back to home base for immediate show. Admittedly I have no idea if they could have been done as live images on the move. So perhaps take the video and feed it back to UK later? Has anyone any idea as to how long she was used in the UK by southern TV before sending her to Malta?
