Summary
Pathe synopsis: Paris, Tokyo, New York? Pictorial regularly takes you across the world but this time we’re flying off to - nowhere. The pilot you see completing take-off procedure is training on the RAF flight simulator at Lyneham in Wiltshire. It rocks and rolls on huge hydraulic jacks and a mechanical brain can reproduce any flying condition or hazard.
