French Air Show July'38 - Hurricane & Gladiator procession

Hello everyone,

The popular airshow "Fête de l'Air" was done at Villacoublay airfield, near Paris on 10 july'38.
At this occasion, a franco-british air procession was organized. At the end, 9 Hurricanes flew "impeccably" then succeeded a patrol of three Gladiator bounded by a ribbon. They performed aerobatic figures despite a low ceiling. When Gladiators landed, "the God Save The Queen" resounded.
Does someone has an idea what was the unit of these Hurricane & Gladiator?

Thanks in advance
Cheers
Jerome
