To mark British Overseas Airways Corporation's (BOAC) Silver Jubilee, London is treated to the rare sight of a new flying boat alighting close to Tower Bridge.

The state-owned BOAC operated flying boats to the US and parts of the British Empire during the 1930s and 1940s.

The Poole flying boats were later awarded a blue plaque, and fortunately ´óÏó´«Ã½ Newsreel was there to capture this beautiful footage.
