Description

This film is one of a series of clips from the Campbell Collection about gliding and aviation whic shows a group of gliding enthusiasts from the Ulster Gliding and Aviator Club. In its first active year, 1931, the club owned two gliders. After an ill-omened beginning, where a group inspects a crashed glider, the clip shows two successful glides over a rural valley. Spectacular.

The film was probably shot by John Dermot Campbell and it is part of the Campbell Family Collection.
