- Summary
- A survey of the choices open to a flight mechanic, a Spitfire pilot, a WAAF driver and a "GD" after demobilization. Film of life in offices, factories, railyards, is followed by a detailed description of the RAF EVT scheme, including an interview with Aircraftsman Perry Keen. The scheme is divided into (1) resettlement training (lectures on citizens’ rights) (2) Educational training (including a refresher course in pre-war trades) and (3) Vocational training (particularly for the GD who has no trade). A mobile unit takes EVT to remoter areas. A lecture on voting and democracy (with pre-war footage) is followed by film of airmen collecting civilian clothing (from GEN no. 10). A happy family watches television.
