A big thank you to the folk who retrieved and put the effort into uploading this gem,,it encapsulates the Golden era of flight giving a feel of the era/time and sense of travel and adventure,cheers to the early pioneers,the historians who brought us to where we are now,,
That exact airplane was destroyed while landing in rough weather near Abbeville France on Wednesday, 15 February 1928. Fortunately there were no fatalities.
Hi. Absolutely enthralling. Whoever can build a modern replica of this old lady-of-the-skies will make a killing selling joy-rides at air pageants. Chocks away, P.R.
Keep it up British pathé Well I would request you to upload more videos so that future generations can see the beauty of past Thanks for your information
I found it very interesting but also rather frightening to see how crude and utterly basic the aircraft was and the means of communication and weather forecasting. It's hard to believe that sweet little girl in the forefront of the camera inside the cabin would be probably + - 100 today if she is still alive.
How wonderful to have found this film, when a compass base and plumb-bobs were all that were needed to get the plane flying in the right direction. Now look what has to be done....
It is desperately blind if you only fly with compass. I fly SSTOs in KSP and it is impossible to position yourself unless I use the map (acts as an advanced GPS). To achive flight with so few equipment needs help from ground and a navigator to read the mountains, rivers, buildings and signs to figure out the position of the plane. In america they even had "lighthouse" and guiding arrows built on ground to help planes to find way. For today's jets it is just impossible to do so as you are flying thousands of feets above the ground. In a modern jet you DO need a lot of fancy meters or you can get lost or crashed easily.
Amazing to think most of those pilots probably knew the routes to Europe well enough as they'd been there in WW1 only 6 years before....equally crazy to think that 30 years or so later jet planes were on the scene and they were sending animals into space.
A really quite splendid document found and preserved as it so well deserves to be! Congratulations are the very least one can say to you dedicated Souls! The quality is magnificent and those good Souls filmed doing their jobs are superb, R.I.P. and God Bless Them. A small point, in the piece showing the signing of the air certificate, the date at the top right hand side is barely distinguishable for its entry figures. In slight endeavour to hasard a guess at what year it was I would venture sometime pre-dating the Wall Street Crash of end October 1929, say eg 1927-1928, by the very 1920 styles of women‘s clothes still pretty conservative for both old and young. Another indication might be for the car models seen. Can some kind soul determine the date on that air certificate page? Thanks again for this interesting document!
Wow ... amazing film. I am is very like it this movie.. The old plane is spectacular... Thanks, now I am understand how old plane system transport... The best movies .... !!! From me D Indonesia republik ===============
The pilot must have been freezing. Where did the go to the restroom? A an in the back?? There was a lot of people trying to look busy. 6 men to push a cart and load I mean watch the loading of suitcases. Haha ✈️🛩
I learned a good deal about where they were in 1924. I consider this one fine film. I appreciate it and wonder what cameras were used. I'll see with I find.
A thing that has been bothering me about this film is how is that it is quicker to fly form London to Berlin,rather then London to Paris. geography,France is closer to Britain then Germany, so wouldn't it be quicker to fly form London to Paris? Instead, according to this film it's quicker to fly form London to Berlin. I'm not sure if this is inaccurate but that's not really my point, my question is how that's possible. ['That' been how it's quicker to fly form London to Berlin then it would be flying form London to Paris?]
Why u allow comments here and switch it off in video about nazis comes to soviet union in 41 , thats weird af , u shouldn't do it lol ,or turn it of on all your videos ,wtf tho

That little girl is so excited!
This is glorious, thank you!

Awesome film footage, keep em coming please.

It's understandable, considering the amount of air traffic around now, and terrorism. I'd much rather have modern air travel.
It is desperately blind if you only fly with compass. I fly SSTOs in KSP and it is impossible to position yourself unless I use the map (acts as an advanced GPS).

Excellent footage Thank you for sharing.
Excellent. Thank you.
Very nice. Even without sound it was still very interesting. Thanks for making it. =D

Wow... bits of plywood, would you have got on it? Great film...
Wonderful - would really benefit from restoration...
Thank you

Open cockpit for the pilot - the days when men were men!
try piloting outside at 800+ km/h, we'll have a laugh
Awesome Video pretty advance for their time!
great documentary
Wonderful
Nothing’s changed. Only efficiency
Gongratulations! 👍
Wow ... amazing film.
I am is very like it this movie..
The old plane is spectacular...
Thanks, now I am understand how old plane system transport...
The best movies .... !!!

Today first non stop flight from UK to India was made!
i thought it was in 1929 not today!
Greater demand in opposite direction.

The map shows it as 2 hours to fly to Paris, and 7 hours to fly to Berlin. Where did you see otherwise?
thevioletskull you are definitely confused. The chart shows 2.5 hours to Paris and 7 hours to Berlin.
