Happy 100th Birthday.
 

Cheers everyone. Glad the RAF is still here.
I raise my glass to everything we've accomplished and fallen comrades .

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?

Totally agree with you, and the many unsung hero's of the Service.

Hear, hear!

Still awake after a good (unrelated) party. Happy birthday to my Service! Let's have another 100 yrs!

Congratulations!

The best posting of my (Army) career was on an RAF station!

It was an honour to live in a block named for F/Sgt Middleton VC.

Here’s to another 100 years.

Per Ardua Ad Astra.

Happy 100th
 

Proud to have served

Here's to the next 100 years!.

Chreers!!!

Congratulations are well in order, but I am not sure that the "one way" only, V-Bomber nuclear crews would agree with your... not to mention other sausage side incursions over heavily defended territory.

Happy birthday RAF and thank you to all who have served and continue to do so.

Paternal Grandad (who I never knew) was certainly in the RFC and presumably in the RAF in 1918. Must try and find out more...

The ultimate April Fool on the RFC.

Because they deserved it.

".....and heartiest congratulations to ALL involved in last night’s celebration at the Royal Albert Hall. A truly wonderful evening celebrating all that is , and was, the very best of the Royal Air Force.

Why do they have to have a 100th birthday in the middle of the Easter Grant.:E:E:ok::ok:

Happy 100th Royal Air Force.

Happy 100th birthday Royal Air Force and all who have served and continue to do so.

Well, yes, BUT, we never actually fired a single shot, or dropped a single bomb, nor had anyone actually trying to kill us.

And after being in Hiroshima and Nagasaki last week thank god it never went hot.

50 Years to the day since I joined!

Happy Hundredth!
Best employment decision I ever made.
(Second best was leaving asap thereafter :E)

Thank you, Roadster280 (Class car BTW)

Fifty years to the day since I joined my first squadron. A few of us are meeting to drink champagne in Hong Kong this evening.
