The Caption reads: THE FLYING SQUADRON
VICTORIA: Heartily glad to see you, Admiral; but I was just thinking of my dear little brother here, who would be glad of assistance from some of your stout fellows.
ADM-RAL H-RNBY: Nothing would give them greater pleasure I'm sure, my dear Victoria, but you see we are only on a flying visit.
