They played polo on brand-new <a href="/wiki/Brough_Superior" title="Brough Superior">Brough Superior</a> motor cycles, drove fast sports cars (the squadron car park was said to resemble a <a href="/wiki/Concours_d%27Elegance" title="Concours d'Elegance">Concours d'Elegance</a>) and most of the pilots owned their own private aircraft. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_World_War">Second World War</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=No._601_Squadron_RAF&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Second World War"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Squadron became a day fighter unit in 1940 and operated both the Hawker Hurricane and the Supermarine Spitfire.
