In 1925 a group of London "men about town" formed
a reserve Squadron of light bombers flying from Hendon. Nine
years later the unit was re-equipped with fighters. Known as
the "Weekend Warriors" the pilots trained in their
spare time. As war approached, the unit was mobilized into Fighter
Command, fighting with equal distinction alongside their regular
comrades.
Shown flying above the River Thames at the time of the Battle
of Britain is a Hawker Hurricane of 601 Sqdn.
