"Two crew members, in 1930s style flying gear, climb into a biplane, registered to 'Hillman's Airways' as G-ABCW, which subsequently takes off from an airfield (Avian and Robinson Redwing). There are various aerial shots of the SELO factory and the surrounding landscape, including a panoramic long shot of the complex and a directly overhead shot. The word 'SELO' can be read from the ground below. The camera then focuses on train tracks, and then back on a more distant shot of the factory. Next up is a major road with a roundabout, and sparse traffic, before we move onto large suburban homes with big gardens, then smaller, more crowded homes in street grids. There is also what looks like a sports stadium at the top left of the screen. The plane flies over fields before there is a close up shot of another biplane, registration number G-ABMV. Finally the plane lands and the camera films the crew disembarking and chatting to each other" (EAFA Database).
