Weekend Warrior,
by John Young
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.
