RAF 100 website
So they set up a team and ask the rest of us for the ideas!!! Well here goes! Get rid of half the senior officers above the rank of Wing Commander, cancel the F35 and buy some decent off the peg aeroplanes! Stop the Army and the Navy running rings around us! Then organise a piss-up on every disused airfield to show the public what has really been given away! Oh and pay for it with the 9 million quid the Conservatives have just spent on a bloody pamphlet telling us to vote to stay in the EU!

Organise the hangar bash to end all hangar bashes, invite all serving and ex members along and entice them with free food, free booze and free accommodation..... when they all arrive tell them it is £500 per head and when they query it, say.... you didn't seriously believe that did you? APRIL FOOL....

Well, that's a dummy well and truly spat out of the proverbial Pram...
Ones still awaiting your ideas.. Commenting on the dreadful font etc is being constructive, hopefully someone will take it up and improve it before the anniversary. I look on it as work in progress.

1) Nationwide flypasts of enough size to generate the amount of interest the Vulcan's farewell tour achieved.
2) A lottery to win the sort of flight that journalists get once in a while - with the Red Arrows, a low-flying exercise, a supersonic flight, a dog-fight in Nevada against a MiG.
3) A New York-London Air Race
4) Land an F-35 as close as possible to the base of each ATC unit.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Having duly submitted a suggestion they replied immediately (not) so are they serious, overwhelmed, or o holiday.

I sounds rather like they are asking for suggestions but dismissing any that do not agree with their vision, thus when someone comes up with what they want they will announce the public decided.

May I say "ICBA", as the logo is already in the hands of some Meerkat Outfit that has little connection with what is, and indeed WAS, the Royal Air Force.
I smell ... J Walter Thompson, who used to do much of RAF publicity material and were almost impervious to customer input (been there, binned the t-shirt).

No mention of the Falklands, Balkans, Iraq or Afghanistan on the timeline….but at least we know when the Tornado was honoured for its Gulf War Ops, and when the Typhoon became multi-role.
To commemorate, celebrate, inspire (and challenge) I've gone for a 100 RAF aircraft flypast up the Mall as part of the national service of commemoration*. Happy to draft the OpO, but I'll need a more authoritative signature.
