Less time gap than the last Cavalry Regiment led a horse-ridden attack!
or when last did an RN surface ship sink an enemy ship?
I think all three services have accomplished more than the popular images, cavalry charges, ship sinkings or air-to-air kills.
When did the RAF last conduct an airborne bombing attack?, a maritime patrol, an airborne evacuation or an airborne re-supply?
Much more to air operations than shooting down fighters. Lets get off that hobby horse shall we?
The ability to deter is better than the ability to kill.
