The Broadcast Engineering Conservation Group (BECG) conserves historic broadcasting equipment. It is based at Hemswell Cliff in Lincolnshire, England and is a Charitable incorporated organisation.[1][2]
The group was founded by people with large private collections of broadcasting equipment, including several Outside Broadcast (OB) vehicles.[3][4][5] It is led by six trustees, many of them working or retired broadcast industry professionals.
In 2021 the group purchased its present building and is converting it into a permanent home for its collection known as the Broadcast Engineering Museum. To date, the museum only opens for visitors on special occasions or for groups by appointment.
A newsletter called Line-Up is published a few times each year and back issues are available on the BECG website,[6] as is a 3D virtual tour.[7]
