From HATFIELD and/) HERTFORD Air Force inter-squadron event, the entries for which are detailed in the "Service Aviation" section of this issue. Race day, however, will not be exclu- sively concerned with racing. Addi- tional attractions, including a helicopter demonstration, glider display, solo and formation aerobatics, parachute jump- ing and model-aircraft flying, are billed. Participating aircraft and their pilots are listed in the accompanying tables. Many veteran machines will be recog- nized, especially among the pre-war de Havilland and Miles types, but there is a smattering of Geminis, Austers and Chipmunks which raises the various events above the "old crocks" class; and, of course, there is nothing decrepit about the out-and-out speed merchants, especially the Venom and Attacker. Hawkers have a stable of old-timers— Tomtit, Hart and Hurricane—in addi- tion to Frank Murphy's Sea Fury Trainer. Colonel Meille's Ambrosini Trainer is the only non-Commonwealth entry, and the Colonel will find a friendly welcome. His mount is of a type little known here and is reputed to be of the best Italian workmanship. The first event—the King's Cup Race —is timed for 1.30 p.m., and the pro- gramme should conclude at about 6 p.m. Prices of admission range from £2 for a private car and its occupants (non- R.Ae.C. members) admitted to the H..Ae.C. enclosure (£x for members) to sos for pedestrians in the same en- closure (members 5s).
