Summary

Pathe synopsis: They’re having a bit of trouble with a revolution at Apethorpe, Lincs. This is where they’re testing the do-it-yourself hovercraft - the Hoverbat. But what with getting into a flat spin and sinking in the local lake it’s a testing time for the air-cushion craft you can build in your own backyard.
