Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Magic in Models. DESCRIPTION: This model regatta at Gosport attracted entries from many European countries. Far from being the kind of yacht you find in Christmas stockings, these are hand-built by craftsmen and real masterpieces. Another international event was the Radio Controlled Model Aircraft World Championships, with enthusiasts from 13 different countries. Seen here is a Russian entry, ready for a practice session. And two model aviators from the United States: Mr and Mrs Brett from Detroit. But this is not just a sport. All the early aviation experiments were carried out with models. SHOTLIST: Key scene.
