Description: Further evidence of the huge enthusiasm for all things aerial in 1920s London, as this film shows hundreds of spectators mobbing Flight-Lieutenant Webster back to Croydon Airport after winning the Schneider Trophy (the correct name for the competion) in Venice. This was a contest for seaplanes, in this case won by Sidney Webster in his Supermarine S.5 single-engine seaplane, flying at an average speed of 280mph around a triangular course of around 200 miles. The trophy is now in the Science Museum
