THE JET PLANES RIDE FROM 1952

The Jet Planes were developed by Maxwells in 1952 for North East England showman John Hoadley. The ride owed its popularity to the fact that each plane could be steered up and down by the rider using a joy stick. The ride came in various liveries usually reflecting the then current rage whether it be jets planes or space ships.
