- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Reminiscent of a windmill are the rotors of a helicopter - so what more fitting than a group of girls from London’s Windmill Theatre to "launch" new helicopters at the Royal Naval Air Station at Lee-on-Solent. The machines are named by (and after) individual girls in champagne - not, as you may have thought, in rum!
