Worker’s Week-End (1943)

Click to subscribe! Commentary by: Flying Officer J. Peach, Royal Canadian Air Force ‘A tribute to the workers of the British Aircraft Industry’. Men and women in a factory in the North-West of England set themselves the task of building a Wellington bomber in the record time of 30 hours. Constructing in their own time, the workers donate the bonus they got to the Red Cross ‘Aid to Russia Fund’. The cameras capture the whole process of the construction in record time through to the test pilot taking off in the plane, ahead of schedule.
