100 years ago today, King George V signed the Air Force (Constitution) Act 1917 into law which authorised the formation of the Royal Air Force. Today we commemorate the courage, service and sacrifice of the pioneers who laid the foundation for the creation of today’s RAF. | Royal Air Force

Alongside other services, the RAF is providing critical support to the UK in the fight against COVID19. We have been involved already, in airlifting critical patients from remote regions and bringing UK nationals back from around the world. We are ready to assist our government to do whatever it takes to beat this deadly virus. More info: https://www.raf.mod.uk/coronavirus/ | Royal Air Force
