Look what the Germans have got airborne once again - there hasn't been a rigid airship aloft since the tragedy of the Hindenburg until now. It's a 20-foot model built by a Bavarian watchmaker and it would do Count Zeppelin proud as it flies over the roofs of the fascinated townsfolk. You see the second stories of houses and floating above them is a zeppelin, looking very slick. CU - A little blond haired boy looking up at the airship. The zeppelin is making a nice and easy landing. Teenagers on their bikes watching the landing of the airship. Model of a zeppelin and the builder pulling it along holding it on a string. The two builders of the model airship. MS - Once again they are letting the 20 foot model up in the air again. "Altvater". MS - The builder of the Altvater is putting it through different maneuvers.
