Summary
Pathe synopsis: Albert Briggs of Tadworth, Surrey, has been making models since he was ten years old and here he demonstrates some of his model aeroplanes in flight. Remarkably realistic, these models are accurate in every detail and the result of much painstaking work. His Lincoln bomber, for example, is built to a scale of one sixteenth and took six months to build.
