Preserving Audiovisual History

Our mission statement is to discover, record and preserve the audiovisual history of the aircraft, machines and people we come across, and to do it while we can — because often you only get one chance to record history as it's happening. We're passionate about the machines (and topics) we film, so the material we produce is for enthusiasts, by enthusiasts! Join us on this awesome journey, and enjoy lots of video material of aircraft and machinery you've not previously seen.

What's so special about HMTV?

We've been filming all sorts of aviation, motorsport and military vehicle machinery for almost two decades. We have a huge volume of historic video footage that we're pulling from our own archives (and elsewhere) and we're presenting that for your enjoyment on HMTV.


Because we're interested in all sorts of other machinery as well—trains, fast boats, construction equipment, in addition to topics in history, we can entertain you with a variety of material, not just a single topic or genre! There's almost 150 hours of great content on the platform already.
