Description

Promotional film for BEA/British Airways highlighting the many different natural, sporting and cultural attractions that the North West has to offer. Aerial footage of the region is interspersed with views of five different people from the North West enjoying different leisure activities. There are scenes of the region's industry, education and commerce as well as examples of some of Manchester's wide variety of night-life, such as restaurants, nightclubs and a Halle Orchestra concert at the Free Trade Hall. The next day, the five people are revealed to be BEA employees, and are seen at Manchester Airport preparing for a flight to Copenhagen.
