30 years is a long time though, worth a try I guess.

£15 development only, £30 for dev + prints or dev + CD-Rom

The alternative would be to process as a black and white film, making an allowance to the age of the film by asuming it has lost a good deal of its speed.

To be honest I don't know that this is right, but I would do the following.

Using Paterson FX39 developer I would cut off a short length of the film and process it for 14 minutes development @ 20 C (68 F). After avaluation of this short clip then the development of the main part of the film can be adjusted accordingly.

Hope that helps you to get something from the film.
Best regards

John
