- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Anglo-American relations may "deteriorate" periodically - according to well-informed political circles, but if you consult the children in and around Upper Heyford, Oxfordshire, you will get a very different answer. For the officers and men of the 3918th Consolidated Aircraft Maintenance Squadron run a model train round the aerodrome collecting old toys from the American children. In the maintenance workshops the toys are expertly repaired and made to look just a little better than new. They are then distributed to local orphans.
