You (Numaticrule)know the story of the Cream and brown Henry in my family.
Here it is for the people that dont know:One day,I was watching the usual Henry videos,then my cousins walks in my room and we were talking,he said his dad had a Henry in his old shop,I went on a Cream and brown Henry vid and he said It was that 1.He remembers it from when were five.My uncle had sold the shop when were seven so Henry probably went to the tip.I was a bit mad,I didnt get Henry as that was when I wasn't allowed vacs.

TLDR:Had a C&B henry,went to the tip.

I would have got it.Another 2 stories,I was in an M and S doing the usual when I heard wheels scraping along the floor then I looked to my side and saw a blue NV 350.I also saw a HVC when I was at the doctors,Ive also seen a few Medivacs in hospitals/medical facilities.I have seen an Edward EVR37022 which is uncommon while shopping and walking down the market.

A recent sighting of a Henry on 'the TV machine'

of what I believe is a 70s Henry commercial vac.  It's an episode of Are You Being Served from 1978.

 

Mr. Harmon is busy using said vacuum, in the opening scene.  He even gives us an elementary narration on how vacuums operate.

Notice the extra long, wide diameter hose and wand set.

Were these made with all metal?

 

As for the video- have you try a search for "Are you being served- Bliss Girl" or add season 6 episode 5 to the search.
