Summary
Pathe synopsis: Man has progressed from planes of wood, string and glue to shining rockets capable of orbiting the stars. Yet until recently private flying has been left to a few enthusiasts - but now the field is widening and, to prove it, we visit an ‘aerial at home’ at Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, where all the guests arrive by private plane.
