		RAF personnel who have risen to prominence either by their actions whilst serving, or subsequently, are detailed at List of famous Royal Air Force members.

	SERGEANT WILLIAM REIDY OF WAR-TIME MOSQUITO 85 SQUADRON Buried at RAF Marham - 24 May 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)

		Working with the Royal Navy divers and RAF engineers, the salvage team was able to recover the major metallic parts of the aircraft - the engines, propellers and two of the four Hispano cannon; as is well-known, most of the Mosquito was built from wood and this has perished in the sea.
		An RAF flier whose remains were found 60 years after his plane crashed into the sea is finally to be buried with full military honours.

		The Hercules – and RAF Lyneham – enjoys a well-deserved reputation for getting the job done, but this would not be possible without the support of a highly motivated and professional Station workforce.
		I stated at the outset that the sole purpose of RAF Lyneham is to provide a military capability, a fighting power, for others to employ.

		The RAF were close to defeat but Adolf Hitler then changed his tactics and ordered the Luftwaffe to switch its attack from British airfields, factories and docks to civilian targets.
		Although RAF pilots were able to bring down a large number of German planes, critics claimed that they were not always available during emergencies and prime targets became more vulnerable to bombing attacks.
		We have all this valuable equipment and highly trained personnel depending for its safety upon one inadequately trained and inexperienced individual, generally equipped with a single relatively inadequate gun in a very exposed position in the tail of the aircraft.

		As the majority of RAF squadrons were ex-RFC, it was logical to maintain the Army system in France and Wings continued to be grouped into Brigades.
		On 1 April 1918, the bulk of the RAF's operational strength was based in Northern France, leaving in Britain those units involved in training, home defence and maritime patrol.
		Those units which accompanied the Army into Germany as occupation forces came under the command of RAF Rhine but by early 1920 the total RAF strength in Germany was down to a single squadron (No 12).

		The RAF also compete at other invitational matches throughout the year, often competing as part of a Combined Services squad, and photographs are often made available.

		Currently, all University Air Squadrons (UASs) are responsible for a share of the RAF's EFT requirement, training both University students during the course of their degree, and also Direct Entry (DE) student pilots.
		The RAF element of JEFTS is to cease to be in July 2003, bringing to an end what will have been a 5 year stay at Church Fenton.
		The reason behind the move is that the RAF has identified a large surplus of flying hours at its UASs around the country, so it has decided to move all Direct Entry training to the UASs.
