M/S of the women climbing into a biplane. On the side of the plane is a name. The plane takes off and there is then an air to air shot of them climbing on to the wings of the plane. "This is just getting used to things - the real thrill comes when we dive under a bridge!" They stand on the top wing and the plane flies under a bridge. "Another try - just for luck." The stunt is repeated - they look pretty close to the bridge! Pathe News intertitle: "Why change places for a landing?" The plane comes in to land with the women still on the wings.
