This film portrays a flight in a Viscount from London to Frankfurt to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Decca Navigator, an early form of civil area navigation aid featuring a moving map display. Decca was also used in north-western Australia.
The use of the then new Inertial Navigation System of the early Boeing 747-100 is explained and demonstrated, making an interesting contrast with today's Flight Management Systems.
This film features footage of many types of old aeroplanes.
