Summary

Pathe synopsis: A veterinary surgery like any other? Except that it’s an elephant from East Africa that needs lightning attention before he flies, not quite like Dumbo, to Edinburgh. This is the RSPCA’s Animal Hostel at London Airport where 60,000 living creatures, from budgies to baboons, come down from the sky every month. Magic in the air for the airport animals on their flying visit.
