	Royal Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The RAF was founded on April 1st, 1918 by the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service.
		The primary role of the RAF in the Cold War years was the defence of Europe against potential attack by the Soviet Union.
		RAF squadrons are somewhat analogous to the regiments of the British army, in that they have histories and traditions going back to their formation, regardless of where they are currently based, which aircraft they are operating, etc. They can be awarded standards and battle honours for meritorious service.

		A Framework Development Plan was presented to Wycombe District Council earlier this year, outlining key proposals for future development of the RAF High Wycombe site.
		There are two main proposals: first, to replace the site reception and RAF Police Flight Portakabin-style facilities with a permanent building; secondly, to replace two other buildings, used by Headquarters Strike Command, which are over 25 years old and nearing the end of their useful and economic life.
		The proposals would address Wycombe District Council's concern over temporary buildings, the visual impact of the proposed developments when viewed from outside the site, and for landscape improvements, such as tree planting, on the RAF High Wycombe site.

		The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, was formed in 1965 at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, then a satellite of the RAF's Central Flying School, to counter the proliferation of expensive and mainly unofficial aerobatic teams that had flourished during the 1950s and early 1960s.
		By the mid-60s almost every Flying Training School and several operational squadrons had their own teams and so much time and effort was being expended on these non-established tasks that the RAF decided to disband them all and form a single, full-time professional team.
		The Red Arrows were based at RAF Scampton, the former Dam Busters' home, from 1983 until they flew out to the Far East in November 1995.
