This film shows pupils from the Percy Hedley School in Newcastle on a youth hostelling trip in Holland. The film opens on the parking apron for airplanes at an airport. In the distance, a number of wheelchair users are being pushed along the rain-soaked apron towards the camera. A special lift helps the wheelchair users get on the plane. A parked coach stands with luggage compartment doors open. A BP fuel tanker operator removes the delivery pipe from the plane’s fuel tanks. From the top of the Dan–Air plane steps a young boy is carried down, another wearing leg braces is also helped down the steps and he waves at the camera. A phantom passenger view follows from a coach; a guide sitting next to the driver speaks into a microphone. The bus travels alongside a river or canal. The coach stops and waits at what is probably a railway crossing. The view changes to show a coach parked in a street as passengers are helped on to the vehicle and the coach’s luggage compartments are open to store luggage. More wheelchairs are wheeled on to the pavement and they wait as each user is carried from their wheelchair on to the coach. Empty wheelchairs wait to be stored with any luggage. General views show buildings and a car park not far from where the coach waits. The coach has the operator's name on the back which reads; ‘SNEL + Co.N.V. Tel. 16800 ROTTERDAM DEN HAAG’ A phantom passenger view shows a pier stretching out across a beach and into the sea. The view shows the promenade as the coach passes by with the beach and grey sea beyond. A celebration of the Netherlands in miniature is next, probably the scale model representation at Madurodam in The Hague. A view follows of a seaport in miniature, with scaled-down ships, a dock and industrial buildings. The school visitors stop on a walkway covered by a wooden frame to view the models. The model ships maneuver in the water, imitating the full-size versions. Visitors walk along pathways between the breath-taking array and detail of each model. The range of industry sites and buildings includes miniature farms, stately palaces in ornamental grounds, and a communications tower similar to the GPO tower in London. The film ends with a young girl sitting in her wheelchair next to a miniature canal and street, towering over both a magnificently modeled church.
