Summary
Pathe synopsis: ...than the army’s crack two-wheeler display team on exciting parade at a Bognor holiday camp [Butlin’s]. This is a dare-devil act, touring the country, that has all the thrill of a circus act. Fifteen men balance on one motor bike, others fly through the air, drive through paper hoops and run a gauntlet through an archway of flame. This is our up-to-the-minute army in spectacular action but you don’t get away from motor vehicles.
