Summary

NoS Summary - Fun and games at a motor car rally at Heston Aerodrome.
British Pathe synopsis: "Filmed at Heston". "Eve’s gone mechanical today - watch her at any Motor or Aeroplane Rally and you’ll see how keenly she joins in - whether it’s the musical chairs..." High angle shot of group of cars driving around a field. Lots of spectators stand around and watch. M/S of woman driving an opened topped car past a chair.

M/S of judge being passed by cars. Man jumps from his car and sits on a chair laughing. Another woman jumps out and sits on a chair. "...or the potato race - (though her aim isn’t always what it should be!)" Another game where women lean out of the car dropping potatoes into buckets. The women are wearing fur trimmed coats. "She’ll try anything once - even the "chariot" race - " Woman sits in a little wooden box on wheels. High angle L/S of the cars on the start line. The "chariots" are pulled along behind the cars! Various shots of the fun and games. "And when a giant ‘plane lands, she’s just as interested as Adam -" Low angle shot of a biplane coming in to land. "Incidentally, did you know that these big "Imperial" monsters have a small engine built into the hull to start the giant engines above? Watch..." C/U of man starting the engine with a lever.
