Description

A military procession of servicemen and women passes through the centre of Preston. Scenes from an event to raise funds for planes for the RAF - "Wings for Victory." Shots of the crowd in front of a stage, speeches are made and a number of racing pigeons are released. The sign on the stage reads "Our Target - £1,000,000." Footage from a cricket match concludes.
[The preservation of this film was funded by a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.]
