Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: A Plane for the Boss. DESCRIPTION: Among aircraft for executives, the Prospector, at 9,300 claims to be the world’s cheapest six-seater. Also at this Coventry Show was the Executive Dove. Cost over 38,000, and clearly for the top brass of the business world! Contrast this second-hand Turbulent, the cheapest in the show, at 500. The Dornier 28 is a newcomer from a well-known stable. Making its first public appearance, the Beagle-Auster Airedale stole the show. At a price of only 4,750 pounds, this is a highly efficient four-seater. SHOTLIST: Key scene. GV aircraft. MS same. CU same pilot closes door. GV Executive Dove. MS interior same two men seated.
