275 Camera Artistry in Coastal Command THE photographs displayed on thisand the next two pages are selected from entries in a photo-graphic competition held between the units of R.A.F. Coastal Com-mand. Obviously the judging of Service pictures cannot be based onordinary standards, and for that reason the photographs reproducedhere have been selected chiefly for their spectacular and artistic valueand suitability for reproduction. They are not all prize-winners; but wherean award has been gained this is noted in the caption. Of the 16competing squadrons, Nos. 224 (Gibraltar), 269 (BallykeUy) and 36(Topcliffe) were placed first, second and third respectively. In the inter-station section of the contest, first place went to North Front (Gibraltar)and Topciiffe was placed second, with EVENING PATROL: Sgt. H. J. Western, No. 269 Squadron; first award, air-to-air. (Right) TRAFALGAR LIGHTHOUSE: Sgt. C. Smitham, No. 224 Squadron; first award, air-to-ground.
