THE COASTWISE PATROL: The three Auxiliary Air Force Squadrons of the London area have been enjoying a strenuous holiday at the seaside, No. 600 F.S. at Hawkinge, No. 601 at Lympne, and No. 604 at Tangmere. Here five Hawker Demons of 604 (County of Middlesex) (Fighter) Squadron are seen flying past Worthing.

FIENDISH ACCURACY: The Hawker Demon two-seater fighters of No. 604 (County of Middlesex) (fighter) Squadron, under the command of Sqdn. Ldr. C. P. Gabriel, rehearsing air drill for the R.A.F. Display on June 27, 1936. Any inaccuracies - which were conspicuous by their absence - would have been hidden from the permanent audience in the Hendon district by a curtain of clouds which, let us hope, will be completely rung up for the great day.
