You may well think I am biased but I make no apology for wishing the RAF a very happy 90th birthday today and add my full respect for all those who risked or lost their lives in our defence during all that time.

...and their colleagues in the Royal Navy and British Army still maintain that it was an April Fools that just got out of hand.

Just had eight or so jets fly over our house (north London) low and in formation. Very unusual, so either there has been a fly past or we are being invaded!

My Uncle Ernie was also in the RAF, he was a Flight Engineer on a Lancaster and based at RAF Stradishall during the war, sadly he died earlier this year but during his life he maintained close links with the RAF and was very proud of his time in service.

Happy Birthday RAF

My uncle served in the RAF and is a very funny and rude bu66er. Are the two related?

HB to the lot of them!

Stood down at the Thames today at Canary Wharf with a hell of a lot of other people watching the fly past. Good to see the Red Arrows even though it was very brief and no aerobatics took place, only smoke trails. The Typhoons that flew with them are bloody huge though

I've just bought Bomber Boys and am very much looking forward to reading about the stories of the RAF bomber crews who, with a very few exceptions, were over-looked during the 2nd World War.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for the people who have served

Yes of course I did even if I was not around when it was formed.
