17.01.2022 Tomorrow is a special day for many hundreds of RAAF serving men and women. Not to mention the hundreds of ex - RAAFies who love their Air Force. On Thursday, 3...1st March 1921 the Minister of State for Defence signed into being the Australian Air Force. King George V approved the prefix "Royal" in June 1921 and became effective on 31 August 1921. The RAAF then became the second Royal air arm to be formed in the British Commonwealth, following the British Royal Air Force. Today, the RAAF is the second longest continual standing air force in the world. Happy 100th birthday RAAF. But for COVID many of us would have been attending celebrations in Canberra and bases around Australia; this includes the Queen's Colour Presentation Parade. The different ceremonial flags or ‘Colours’ of the Australian Defence Force hold a revered position of honour. They are the embodiment of Service traditions, achievements and history. Each military unit has its own distinctive Colours, or flags, which were historically used in battle to signify the location of each unit. Although they are no longer carried into battle, Colours are still very symbolic, constituting a unit or Service’s honour and representing its devotion to duty. The Royal Australian Air Force will receive a new Queen’s Colour on the occasion of its Centenary on 31 March 2021. Also on parade will be all of the colours, standards and banners of the Royal Australian Air Force and a flypast will take place. Air Marshal Sir Richard Williams, KBE, CB, DSO, is widely regarded as the "father" of the Royal Australian Air Force. He was the first military pilot trained in Australia, and went on to command Australian and British fighter units in World War I. A proponent for air power independent of other branches of the armed services, Williams played a leading role in the establishment of the RAAF and became its first Chief of the Air Staff in 1922. He served as CAS for thirteen years over three terms, longer than any other officer. To all serving RAAF and veterans, celebrate the day with passion and respect. I have uploaded some images. Sir Richard, The Act of Parliament, the Colours, me on enlistment, receiving a Service Commendation, some aircraft and the worst time-the death of a pilot.
