Description

We open with a sign for the headquarters of the 496 Solihull Squadron of the Air Training Corps. We cut to an event in a field where a man in a suit addresses a crowd that includes local dignitaries, RAF personnel and the public. A group poses for the camera next to a glider. We then see several different gliders being launched into the air.
