From a humble beginning…

Throughout the inter-war years.

From the gathering clouds of war…

To a symbol of hope in our darkest hour.

From the dawn of the jet age…

To mach 2 pioneer.

From cold war deterrent…

To rapid reaction force.

Defending our skies and our freedom…

Into the 21st century, and beyond.

The Royal Air Force. 1918-

X pal, that's fantastic! I'd be happy to add a couple more shots for your calendar. Here are a couple of shots I did not use in the original post. Hope this helps.

Sorry Woody pal, but with only 10 shots available, something had to miss out. If you think about it, I had to leave out a number of ground breaking and historically significant types.

I saw the Lanc, Spitfire, Tornado, Harrier and Nimrod (amongst many others) today at RAF Waddington, thanks for the reminder of a great day and the brief collection of our Aviation heritage.

Nick

Ps. If you live in the UK get yourselves to Sundays airshow at Waddington, they have a truly awsome line up!
