What and What Not


After a take-off at Tangmere airfield we move to Bognor Regis where the Daily Mirror 8 demonstrate a frenetic keep-fit routine. We join crowds watching Britain win the Schneider Trophy air-race before adopting a slower pace on boats in Bosham Harbour. Back in Bognor, speedboating celebrity Commander Daniels meets his fans then we’re back at Tangmere, where delighted joy-riders go for a spin in Captain Barnard's Fokker V.II - flying over the coast near Littlehampton.
