Wanted, to borrow for use in a film. Original loading conveyor of the type used to load the baggage into civvie aircraft around 50 years ago.

Described as the type that was manually loaded at the bottom, the baggage conveyed to the top via the moving belt then manually unloaded at the top.

Needs to be in working condition or requiring minimal work to enable it to be so. Collection and delivery will be arranged and payment for its use.

Can anyone help?

Can't recall having seen a working unit in a museum or the like. There are several UK companies that manufacture similar items & I've added a couple of weblinks below, Newland are in Hyde, Cheshire; it's a while since I've had any dealings with them.
