Summary

Pathe synopsis: Nothing unusual about a children’s playground? Agreed, but this one is in an unusual setting - London Airport. So many people like to spend a day watching the ‘planes come and go, that the authorities decided that the kids should have something else to keep them amused - hence this stamping-ground for the children of the jet age!
