News on Screen

Keith Pettinger was credited for a number of Movietone stories, beginning with ‘HAYDOCK PARK FLAT RACING’ in British Movietone News No.2261A of October 1972 and ‘CYCLO CROSS’ in No.2269A of November 1972. From the location of the stories he covered Pettinger may have been a northern stringer. In June 1974 he covered the Flixborough disaster for ‘CHEMICAL WORKS EXPLOSION’ in No.2348A, and his last credit was for ‘PRINCESS ANNE OPENS TOWN CENTRE’ in No.2356 of July 1974.
