TUNK 27, 1935. FLIGHT. This map of the Aerodrome shows the position of the enclosures, entrances and other features of interest to the spectator A GUIDE to The Programme : Admission TO judge from the queries which always reach Flight during the few days previous to the Royal Air Force Display, there are a number of points about which intending visitors who have not been to previous Dis plays req uire information. In the first place, there are the contents of the pro gramme. On the whole, this year's programme will be very much on the lines of its predecessors, aiming at illus trating the everyday work of the Royal Air Force rather than deliberately seeking the spectacular—though many of the items are intrinsically so. The main programme begins at 3 p.m., but for the benefit of early arrivals (and it is worth while arriving early, if only for the sake of avoiding the crush) there are eight preliminary events,* starting at 12.30 p.m. with the Headquarters Race and consisting of demonstrations of individual aerobatics, re fuelling in the air, air gunnery, aerial combat, instructional the DISPLAY Details : Routes to Hendon flying, tactical training, and an item which should not be missed by those who have not previously seen the machine in action—a flying demonstration by the D.H. "Comet"; this is scheduled for 2.10 p.m. The main (3 p.m.) programme consists of drill by three day bomber squadrons, low-flying attack, "air skittles," army co-operation, parachute demonstration, flight aerobatics, air drill by single-seater squadron, demonstration by Home Defence units, fly-past of flying boats, smoke evolutions, parade and fly-past of new and experimental types, inverted flying, and —in place of the '' set-piece '' of previous years—a massed fly past of the squadrons taking part; this will be an impressive item that will give some slight idea of the spectacle to be seen at the Royal Review on July 6. This finale takes place at 5.32 p.m. Very full details are set out in the official programme, which is sold in.aid of Service charities, and the public is warned against purchasing unofficial and inaccurate programmes outside the aerodrome.
