Summary
Pathe synopsis: Not a pastime for beautiful spies, but serious research carried out by the boffins at the RAF Institute of Aviation Medicine at Farnborough, where the doctors sometimes use themselves as "guinea pigs" in their experiments - as in the case of the Multi-Planar Rotating Device, which records eye movement while the subject goes up and down and around and around!
