RAF air support in 1930s – film clip Hawker Demons

An interesting look back at how military technology in the mid 1930s had not really advanced that much since 1915-18

This film shows a tactical test / trial landing by British troops on home soil … very similar to Gallipoli in 1915…but one key addition is seen – Hawker Demons flying air support missions over the troops.

The landing boats, horses, and equipment were nearly same 20yrs on at this stage so close to the WW2….
