EDITORIAL COMMENT. HE greatest British aviation event of the year, the Royal Air Force Display, will take place at Hendon on Saturday of this week, July 3. Not only the number of machines taking part entitles the Display to be so styled, but no- where in the world is better and more impressive flying to be seen than that to which visitors to the R.A.F. Displays are treated. Furthermore, the variety of the events is such that there is never a dull moment, and from exhibitions of perfect squadron formation flying RF and evolutions one changes to aero- Display batics, then on to bombing, then maybe to a race between machines of one type, and again to something totally different, such as a " message-picking-up competition." Add to all this variety the fact that the entire proceeds of the Display go towards various R.A.F. charities, funds, etc., and there should be little need for us to urge all of our readers who can possibly do so to go to Hendon next Saturday. In connection with this year's Display, FLIGHT has attempted to assist its readers by including in this issue not only a pictorial review of previous R.A.F. Displays, or Pageants, as they used to be called, but also photographs and brief notes of " introduction ' of all the types of machines taking part, in one way or another, in this year's Display. Thus readers of FLIGHT who are impressed by the performance or appearance of any particular machine can turn to our pages and discover information concerning it, such as the engine with which the type is fitted, the makers, whether or not the type is in general use in the R.A.F., and if so, which squadrons are equipped with it. Our " guide " to the types is divided into two sections, of which the first deals with the types of aeroplanes that take part in the various demonstra- tions. In the second section are contained photo- graphs of and notes dealing with the types to be seen in the " Fly-past." It is hoped that FLIGHT'S photographs of the various types may be of con- siderable assistance, forming as they do a permanent record of the machines and enabling visitors to
