Motor Cycle School (1958)

Harbourne, Nr. Birmingham. Exterior. M/S of a road with a grass bank behind it. A man on a scooter whizzes past. L/S of what appears to be a motorcycle course - a rough road is marked out with white stones over a muddy stretch of wasteland. The course is part of Britain’s only private school for motorcyclists, started by motorcycle traders, ’Cope’s’. The man on the scooter rides past. In the distance a man on a motorbike is racing around another part of the course. Panning shot follows the man on the scooter as he wobbles off the course and falls off. He laughs as he picks himself up. An instructor in a white laboratory coat (probably Gordon Evans) runs on to the course to assist the man. The instructor is joined by a woman in a short white jacket and white helmet. The instructor wheels the scooter off. High angle L/S of the course with about half a dozen people driving around it on scooters and motorbikes. L/S of the motorcyclists turning a sharp bend in the course. M/S of the motorcyclist
