Germany’s 34-Ton Air Liner (1932)

Full title reads: “Croydon. Germany’s 34-ton Air Liner has accommodation for 34 passengers in 2 storeys - one of which is in the huge wings!“ Croydon, Greater London. Massive aeroplane - the D2500 - taxies across the airfield at Croydon. It is a very strange looking propellor driven aircraft. It is a civilian airliner for the German airline - Lufthansa (there is a sign reading this on the nose). Pan across the wingspan of the plane giving a good idea of its strangely bulbous design. More shots of the plane taxiing. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV. IT’S FULL OF GREAT DOCUMENTARIES, FASCINATING INTERVIEWS, AND CLASSIC MOVIES.
