THIS DIGIBETA VERSION HAS BEEN MADE FROM THE PRINT - VERSION ON TAPE *PM0946* WILL PROBABLY BE BETTER QUALITY AS TAKEN FROM THE NEGATIVE. “They say there’s nothing new under the sun - but the occupation of professional Lady Aeroplane Pilot surely must be! Meet the Misses Gower and Spicer - very early in the morning.“ C/U of an alarm clock balanced on a chair. A woman’s arm stretches out from a bed to turn off the alarm. She turns the clock over. M/S of a door opening, a dog being let out and a metal pail (of milk?) being taken in. M/S of a house, door opens and two women (one in trousers, the other in a boiler suit) walk towards the camera.
