Two-Six - Always happy to hear alternatives, can we say then, that the RAF use of 'two-six' probably originated in the RNAS rather than the RFC. BTW, it was many years ago that a grizzled old Chiefy that told me the origin I posted.

...and I always thought the term "26" to "move" was because the RAF Movements form (to request transport etc.) was the Form 26.


Anyone in the mob who can clarify?
