Default The Formation Sign - 100 Years of the RAF

Received my copy of issue 270 this morning. "Per Adua Ad Astra - Celebrating 100 years of Royal Air Force Uniforms and Insignia".

48 pages of detailed information beautifully illustrated throughout with colour images and black and white photos.

While I am not an RAF collector this is a "must have" for all with an interest in military history.

Congratulations to the editor and other Forum members for their contributions.

Tim

Default The Formation Sign - 100 Years of the RAF

I have just opened my copy, a wonderful effort by all concerned and I hope they have printed a few overs to sell, a must for badge collectors.

Agreed - Absolutely. Is the RAF Museum aware of its existence? Mike

Thanks Tim for starting this thread - quite right too, a great tribute to RFC, RNAS, RAF, and its many branches.

Never mind 'where can I get a copy' ... why not join? The Military Heraldry Society would welcome more recruits whose collective knowledge can only add benefit to all.
http://militaryheraldrysociety.com/join.html

The expertise encapsulated in the journal 'The Formation Sign' is already incredible and covers a huge range of military and home front interests. The more members that join, the better. We have a great committee, but particular credit to our Editor, Jon Mills ('postwarden' on the forum here).

I was disappointed to miss the unique opportunity yesterday - granted to Members of the Military Heraldry Society, and advertised in our journal - to visit RAF Scampton as private guests (I wish I could clone myself to be in more than one place at a time ... but already have a twin). What a great way to celebrate 100 years of the RAF ... looking forward to reports of the visit.

Mike
