Happy 100th Anniversary RAF

Congratulations and Bravo Zulu for a century of service, including the tail end of the First World War, the conflicts of the Inter War years, preparing for another European war, six long years of the Second World War, and then various post VJ Day conflicts and commitments including Malaya, Suez, Aden, Oman, Northern Ireland, the Falklands, Kuwait, the Gulf from 1990 onwards, Bosnia, Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the non war commitments during the long vigil of the Cold War.

Also humanitarian and life saving operations all over the World.

I wonder if any of those founding airmen could imagine that 100 years to the day later, RAF aircraft and personnel would be involved in live operations?
