I've been looking at the Hendon pageants a bit ... I had no idea that the more traditional sort of pageantry might come into this as well. I hope to look at more provincial history (as opposed to just London) and that's exactly the sort of thing I'd like to know more about! I assume the book is about the Southampton area? A great place for aviation history, what with Supermarine and all the flying boats. Southampton's also the place that Nevil Shute bombed the **** out of in <em>What Happened to the Corbetts</em> (1939). Maybe Southampton would be a good place to look at, I know Portsmouth had an Air League branch, that's just next door too. Thanks – that’s very interesting!

No references worthy of the name, alas. By the way, I saw this the other day, of 1938:
