This film shows a celebratory event at Slingsby Aircraft Ltd, based in Kirkbymoorside, and a viewing of a newly completed housing development. There is a sign for Slingsby Aircraft Holdings and for Slingsby Joinery, for some official event.  Cars arrive at the site, including the family in the film Israel and Helmsley, who arrive in their Rolls Royce.  One of the guests looks to be a female member of the Royal family.  A group of people stand around chatting, some of the men wearing blazers with badges for the Slingsby Sailplanes Club.  The man with the chin curtain beard makes a speech to those assembled, followed by several other speeches.  The badge is shown: “Slingsby Sailplanes Ltd., Slingsby Swallow, Kirkbymoorside, Yorkshire.”  A glider with a small engine attachment to the roof is shown.  Another light aircraft (G-ATRH) takes off.  The glider with a small engine attachment to the roof is seen flying overhead.  Another glider is seen being pulled up.  There is an aircraft acrobatics display being watched by a small crowd.  One of the planes (CS-AJN) is shown landing. The film switches to what looks like the opening of a new housing project.  There is a sign that states: “Slingsby System Built (Dorran) – Glen Meree, new type of quick build house”.  One of the newly built, single-floored house is shown, and a brochure shows the layout of the house.  The glasses serving the champagne are washed and put packed away.
