If any PPruners have old photos of st athan that would be most useful as I am researching the history of this unsung and unappreciated gem of a Royal Airforce Station!!!
I think it's actually "Royal Air Force" which is why it's known as the RAF. If it was "Royal Airforce" then it would just be the RA?!
