Happy 90th Birthday

Postby Vapour01 » Tue Apr 01, 2008 10:58 am

Feel free to add your own if you wish (as thumbnail links only please, to avoid the limit) :) Celebrating the 90th year of one of the worlds greatest air forces, the Royal Air Force. No matter how stupid some of the decision at the higher levels are these days, the personell continue to be among the best in the world.

Rather than add lots of thumbs, or start a thread for one shot, here is one 800px image. Hope that's ok Steve

Seen in the skies above Shropshire tonight, apparently on it's way for a flypast of the Officer's Mess.

Happy Birthday RAF

Okay, here are some... All from Farnborough 06 I think.

The third is a tribute to all of those who fought in WW2, but unfortunately many lost their lives.
The fourth is a tribute to our more modern and amazing pilots, who are probably the best in the world.


Hope you like! All my own work, but the camera isnt too brill  ;)

Nice to see this thread picking up nicely, anything RAF related is acceptable, as long as it carries RAF colours and the type was an RAF type at some point. Don't be afraid to repeat aircraft either, anything you want to share of the RAF go ahead.
Just a few more to keep ticking over...
