A visit to the Bristol Aeroplane Co. Filton - pre-war colour film footage
A visit to the Bristol Aeroplane Co. Filton, just prior to the outbreak of WWII. Bristol's chief Test pilot Capt. C.F. Uwins takes a brand-new Blenheim up for a test flight...
Tiger Moths and an RAF Vega Gull in the background as Uwins walks out to the Blenheim
Another superb pre war colour film, and well worth watching for those building their Airfix Blenheim`s . Film footage here, but only viewable in the UK
