A day at the Gliding Club is chronicled here by the Doncaster Movie Makers Club. The film contains shots of the gliders taking off and some excellent aerial views. A car drives down a road in Doncaster before pulling up to the curb. Two men exit the car and head inside a house. A billboard is then shown that has 'Doncaster district flying club' written on it. The filmmaker then captures a tractor towing a glider through a field. Several men then make checks technical checks on the glider, and there are shots of a teenager wearing a leather jacket, who straps himself into the cockpit. Another man then comes over and joins him in the glider before a man attaches a rope to the gliders nose. The tractor drives away and a man waves a red sign around. The glider then takes off, and the filmmaker captures shots of it flying overhead. The next sequence features aerial views of the surrounding area taken from the glider as it flies above, and one shot shows the field below where the spectators can be seen watching. After this, a glider comes into land. The following sequence shows various gliders being launched into the air. A man then settles himself in a cockpit of a glider before the glass windscreen is placed over him, and the glider is captured being launched into the air. Again there are aerial views from inside the glider, and this time the filmmaker captures the landing, also from the cockpit. Another glider takes off, before there is a shot of a blue double deck bus, which has the words 'Doncaster gliding club' printed on the side of it. A man then gets a plane started by spinning the propeller, and the plane races along the field before taking off. The final shot shows a tractor pulling a glider through the field.
