The RAF is 95 years old today

Had to laugh at Camerons comments at the bottom... “completely and utterly essential,”
Is that why your butchering large portions of them then?

and let us hope that they'll last to see another 95

Happy Birthday R.A.F. My granddaddy was there in 1918.

Happy Birthday to the RAF. Tally Ho gents.

April Fools! There isn't actually an RAF, it was cut last month. :O:


In all seriousness, I wonder what they'll do for the 100th, would be nice to have a fly-past with aircraft from the Camel to the F35 (if we even have the damn thing by then). Wonder if XH558 will be flying again by then?

Sad to think how it's gone...but then again, we've always been good at making the most of what little we've got, I guess. :hmmm:

Very kind of those little red birds to give old granny a tow. :sunny:

The RAF will easily reach 100, but I doubt many milestones beyond that. However, we shall witness the creation of the UKDF within the next 20 years.

As for XH558, we'll see what the wing-spar fairy brings after this next season. But just incase it's nothing I'll be going to Waddington this year. :sunny:
