The Midget Flyer-Glider (1930)

No title. Two men carry a model seaplane down to the edge of a lake. A small boy follows them. They put the model into the water and the boy climbs inside the cockpit. The boy’s name is Tony Porter and the plane is 1 h.p. Tony looks at the camera and smiles. There is an RAF insignia on the side of the plane. C/U of the motor. The boy pilots the seaplane across the lake. Various shots of the plane on the water. Pretty nifty. Was an item in Pathe Pictorial issue number 651. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
