New Jet Helicopter (1959)

Swannington Aerodrome, Norwich, Norfolk. M/S of an unusual looking helicopter in the air. It looks rather fragile. It has a regular ’sledge’ base with several gas bottles on top. Rest of it is glass so it looks like an insect or exotic bird. Cut to people sitting at the tables on the field below. M/S of the helicopter next to a truck. C/U shot of the helicopter. It looks good - very iMac design. Helicopter is called Kolibrie, it is designed in Holland and is to be used in agriculture. Demonstration of its agricultural use is the main reason for this gathering at Swannington Aerodrome near Norwich. Several shots of the helicopter getting ready for demonstration of its ’powers’. C/U shot of the face of a man in tweed suit smoking a pipe. Cut to the helicopter rising in the air. M/S of the group of people looking in the air, watching the helicopter. L/S of the helicopter spraying. M/S of a man (Mr Gordon Smith) signalling with ’bats’. Frontal shot of a helicopter, flying straight into camera, spraying
