| Description: | London; aviation. GV the ancient Tower Bridge on the Thames River. 5 secs bridge alone; then a small airplane flies "through" it -- over bottom part and under the upper. Then an amazing aerial tracking shot from the plane as it flies through again -looking back toward bridge -- Only sky; then the top of the bridge as plane flies under it; top of bridge receding/ at same time becoming more of bridge; as plane flies away and upward. (Or if played backward; looks like aerial shot approaching bridge. Either way it really gives sensation of flight. Cool!) GV bridge with airplane flying through again. A lot of automobile and truck traffic on bridge. Famous London landmarks. History; stunts; antiquities; etc. | |
