Overview

No open-top double-decker required for this pictorial tour of Dunstable. Amateur filmmaker George Ripper provides the moving pictures, and no tour is complete without anecdotes, for which the filmmaker doesn’t disappoint. Following a visit to all the significant landmarks, the film concludes with a breathtaking view of the Downs, and a spectacle of bi-planes, parachutists, and hot-air balloons provided by the London Gliding Club.
