fLIGHT, SEPTEMBER 16, 1W> SQUADRON " V " : The nine Wapitis " of No. 603 B.S. over one of the coast towns of the Firth of Forth. (FLIGHT Photo.) which we also illustrate. It is very smart. That can be seen from the picture, and we assure our English readers that it pipes very well. At present it does not wear kilts, and that is a point which is rather worrying the squadron. What would a kilt of Air-Force blue look like? For our selves, we can see no reason why it should not look quite as well as the kilt of the London Scottish, which also has no tartan. Certainly No. 603 B.S. would feel happier and more contented if it could put the pipers and drum mers into kilts ; and the Nine of Diamonds, which is the Curse of Scotland, would lie heavy on the head of any Air Ministry official who dared to say " Nay." Perish the thought! Are there not as many Mac's in the Air Ministry as in any other great institution in London?
