Description |
Different boats are seen on a busy River Dee at Chester and the Barr family get into a vintage car and drive away. At the Welsh Harp reservoir in West Hendon, the Duchess of York's Outboard Race takes place, after which a biplane flies over the crowd, a seaplane takes off and lands and there is a demonstration of water-skiing. In Chester, the motor boat M.Y. Idolour is launched, with views of it cruising along the River Dee. |
