Yep. you need a pro lab with large scanner.
Check to see what company the photo is with. Most of them are still going you could order a reprint.
Most Labs won't Scan with out permission or the company is long since dead and gone.
You need to check if the firm is still going.
You could still breaking copywrite.

Have had a look at the photo and it is 8" deep and 41" across. It was done by a company called Panora and was september 1968. A goofle has found a website which states all of there images from 1968 onwards had the negatives stored in a collection in Manchester I think it was. So there is a possibility of a print being done for £37.

That's a big print!
Since the copyright holding company still seems to exist, scanning the print to reproduce is a bit of a no-no but for anyone who has a similar sized pan of their own that they want to scan in, I would scan it in sections using an A4 flatbed then stitch it together using a proprietary programme (or print the individual A4 scans and tape them together). Getting a print of the resulting file is another problem, especially at the original size! When doing the scan, have a good amount of overlap - maybe 1/4 of each frame - to help the software do its matching.
