Closer shots of the ‘Graf Zeppelin’ as it comes in to land at Hanworth Aerodrome. Ropes are dropped and it is pulled down by men. Crowds of people gather around the gondola of the large airship. Great shots of the crowd. People wave from the gondola. A man is welcomed as he climbs into the gondola - it may be Dr Hugo Eckener, Airship Pioneer and Commander of the Graf Zeppelin.
