As the titles suggests, this clips takes place at Hanworth Aerodrome, a pioneering centre of aviation situated in Feltham, and later renamed to London Air Park, the first airport in Middlesex. It is possible that John Dermot Campbell, a great aviation enthusiast, has made the trip to the aerodrome in 1930 for flying lessons or a flying club session.
The plane featured in this clip is DH.60X Moth [Cirrus III], a 1920’s British two-seat touring and training aircraft that was developed into a series of aircrafts by the de Havilland Aircraft company. G-AAPA was the first registration of a batch of ten DH.60X Moths that were "block booked" by De Havilland aircraft on 15.8.29. All were initially registered to National Flying Services Ltd., Hanworth, Middlesex.
This is one of a series of clips from the Campbell Collection about gliding and aviation.
The film was probably shot by John Dermot Campbell and it is part of the Campbell Family Collection.
