Summary
Pathe synopsis: The Navy has sent a crack unit from the aircraft-carrier "Victorious". At sea, it is vital to get a plane flying within minutes of the alarm. Each man in the ground crew has his special place in getting an aircraft into the air - shown in this film.
Researcher Comments
Introduction: Pictorial presents the highlights of the Royal Tournament - in colour, for the first time. Before the great annual event opened, display teams from the three Services staged their most exciting acts exclusively for Pathe Pictorial out in the open air.
