I'm so pleased to see that delightful Mrs Ruth Elder Camp, wearing good, sensible shoes, when she went gliding!

 

She must have been a bit of a tiger on the husbands! - she was married 6 times! Or is that just the norm for actresses??

Great little film, W3stie - that Scouts glider looks like it needs an air suspension seat! Some of the ground contacts must have been a real PIA!
