Most of you have half a day on me, and *I* have to remind you?

RAF FOUNDED:
April 1, 1918


On April 1, 1918, the Royal Air Force (RAF) is formed with the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). The RAF took its place beside the British navy and army as a separate military service with its own ministry.

Sure - the joke was on the Admiralty, who had to wait until 1938 to get back control of its toys!
