From the
Isle of Wight County Press:
Gil Taylor who just passed away at the age of 99 on the Isle of Wight, began working as a cameraman in the 1930's. He worked on an amazing list of films: Brighton Rock (1947), Ice Cold in Alex (1958), The Avengers TV series (1961), Dr. Strangelove (1964), A Hard Day's Night (1964), and Star Wars (1977). He was in the RAF in WWII, filming bomb damage from a Lancaster bomber. This article is from 2006 (just now available online).
