Power Boat Racing (1966)

Iver, Buckinghamshire. Several shots of hydroplane boats being prepared for racing at Woodlands Lake. A cannon fires to start them off; numerous shots of the boats speeding around the course at top speeds of 60 miles an hour - it looks much faster! The people seen are members of the London Motorboat Racing Club. Cuts exist - see separate record. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
