832 FLIGHT EVENTFUL WEEK-END LAST week we reported Whitsuntide air events at Squires Gate and Woodvale in Lan- cashire (a combined display in aid of S.S.A.F.A.); at White Waltham, Berks (the R.Ae.C. aerobatic competition); at Weston Airfield, Dublin; and at Ypenburg, in Holland (a big international display, subject of a second and more detailed description on pages 827-830 of this issue). A number of illus- trations accompanied last week's reports, and on these two pages a further selection is pre- sented. With the exception of the two from Ireland, all are "Flight" photographs. Three impressions from the Wood Yale and Squires Gate displays: Above, two U.S.A.F. Douglas RB-66Bs, streaking the sunlit sky with smoke from their Alli- son J71s, pass fast and low. Right, two Gannets were among the Fleet Air Arm participants. Below, a Mos- quito T.T.35 touches dawn with a puff of smoke from its port tyre-tread. This Mos- quito is one of three which have taken over meteorologi- cal duties formerly carried out by the last active R.A.F. Spitfires (Flight, June 14, p. 819).
