M/S of Malcolm Campbell holding a little girl in his arms, he gives her a kiss. M/S of him stood in front of his aeroplane, 'Blue Bird', a lady and a little boy in school uniform join him. These people are probably his family, and the boy is possibly his son, Donald Campbell, who went on to break speed records himself. Malcolm kisses the little girl again then puts her down.
