THE ROYAL VISITORS AT THE R.A.F. DISPLAY : Their Majesties the King and Queen entering the Royal Enclosure at Hendon. In the enclosure are also Sir Samuel Hoare, the Duke and Duchess of York, Sir Hugh Trenchard, and Sir Philip Sassoon. from the aerodrome—enabled many thousands of visitors toget to and from the Display with the minimum of discomfort (under the circumstances) and in a much shorter space oftime than hitherto. Personally, we missed with pleasure that tedious tramp, a la sardine, of an hour or more up the hill toHendon Church en route for Golder's Green, " after the show was over." Apart from the " Tube," however, which musthave brought many more people to Hendon this time, it appeared to us that the number of cars that turned up thisyear was considerably greater than on previous occasions. Saturday's visitors to the 'drome started arriving at an early hour, and by 1 p.m. the main enclosures, round about theRoyal Box, presented a brilliant, animated, and "full-up" appearance. In addition to members of the Royal Family,who arrived later on, there was a most distinguished gathering present. It would be almost impossible to give the names ofall those present, besides Brown, Jones and Robinson, but there were present, in addition to most of the heads of theAir Force, representatives of the Army and Navy, members of the Cabinet, of both Houses of Parliament, representatives ofthe Dominions, foreign ambassadors and naval, military and air attaches, etc. To mention but a few of these, there were ROYALTY AT THE R.A.F. DISPLAY : The Royal party walking past the enclosures on their way to visit themachine park. With their Majesties will be seen (from left to right) Sir Philip Sassoon, the Duke and Duchess of York, Sir Hugh Trenchard, Flt.-Lieut. the Hon. J. H. B. Rodney, M.C., Sir Samuel Hoare, and Sir Geoffrey Salmond. I 405 * E 2
