Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt.
His final chilling video
Cast what is left of your mind back to 1967. A stretch for XMills.
From the 15th. of December of then.
Chilling to see a blissfully unknowing person just before end of life.
This is Harold Holt’s missing interview about his plans for the weekend immediately before his death
Not seen anywhere since as far as I know.
This clip from Gippsland in Victoria was kept from 'the television' except for the news broadcast from provincial and relay station GMV 6 two days before Harold drowned. It was not shown immediately after the death because the station management thought it to be in bad taste. There was also the angle of a secret woman. So much was withheld.
I was whippersnapper producing and writing for stars at the legendary radio station called 3UZ when the tragic news flashed, '... the prime minister is missing'. All sorts of tapes and film came through the following day. I was right in the thick of it.
The conspiracy theorists were out in force then as well. Tongues wagged, 'He was taken by a Chinese submarine and now lives happily over there'. Even then we yawned and moved away. Making stuff up never goes away. That's where clips like this show that unedited film does not lie.
At my radio station I suggested that all Top 40 surf music and The Beach Boys took a rest. That was half of the playlist.
