| Description: | In a forest in Bedford, England, British aircraft manufacturers demonstrate the amazing maneuverability of their P-1127 jet fighter. It's high speed, high-altitude fighter that can land and take off vertically --- just like a helicopter. Aerial shot of land with a lot of trees. Air to Air - A strange flying object, looks nothing like a plane as we know it. Low Angle Shot - Now it looks like a plane with wings but the nose of the plane is not like a conventional nose on a plane. Low Angle Shot - It truly looks very futuristic, flying very slow and it stops in mid air and lands like a helicopter. MS - A cleared out field in the mist of all the trees. MS - It lands vertically and then it takes off vertically, It looks like something from Flash Gordon. MS - As it lifts up, it blows the grass around and moves the tops of the trees. MS - The plane flies away. | |
