Latest Type Bomber Christened (1938)

Titles read: "LATEST TYPE BOMBER CHRISTENED".
Radlett Aerodrome.
Inside an aircraft hangar we see Viscountess Hampden christening a new bomber 'Hampden' (natural sound). She stands on a platform and smashes a bottle against the front of the unveiled plane; crowds of men in the hangar applaud. Outside the hangar we see the aircraft taxiing for takeoff. Several mute shots of the Hampden in flight.
