Default 'The Riddle of Richard Pearse'

A video of docu-drama film 'The Riddle of Richard Pearse' has been
located, digitised and uploaded to Google Video. This is the film
during which the horse which was towing the replica plane across a
field suddenly bolted and the plane took off - but despite all the
cameras around no-one managed to get a recording of it in the air!!
Also there are some early archival films of eyewitnesses to the
'flight(s)' of early 1903.
