Right, I think I have most of them: Starts with flying shots of the HP Hermes V airliner which is larger than the Viscount which is also shown in taxi between those opening flying shots. Then the good old Bristol Freighter, then the Viscount and the Hermes again. Then after the Bristol lands, it shows an Airspeed Ambassador reversing, as a Shorts Solent flying boat passes overhead. Then a Balliol T2 trainer takes off, followed by a Percival Prince. Then the lovely Vickers Seagull,followed by the fabulous tri rotor Cierva Air Horse powered by a Merlin! Then the Westland Wyvern TF2 naval aircraft and finally the unusual fin of the Armstrong Apollo.
I might have a copy of the Flight Magazine for that week, I see if I can dig out a copy for you.

Obviously I may need to stand corrected on some,.....
Cheers
Steve
