Box Brownie,
The programme is one which if translated to today, would be most impressive indeed. As I keep pointing out, that this was one of tens of other stations holding similar events through the same day shows, without a doubt, that the RAF made a far greater effort toward flying displays in earlier times, albeit an ever diminishing return. One thing I do find mildly amusing in the programme is the theatrical description of some items, Hunters in 'Full Cry'! Marvellous.
