RAF Special Schemes for 2017

Recommended Posts

Well, it is that time of year again. Anyone know offhand which RAF squadrons have anniversaries this year? More to the point, which will be producing special markings on one of their aircraft? 

 

As a followup question, will Xtradecal be producing another decal sheet of special markings? Thanks all.

84 was formed in Jan 1917 (not seen anything from them) & 100 Squadron hits 100 years this month. 72 formed in June 1917; 101 was formed in July 1917, while 99 was formed a month later (as you'll have guessed, squadrons didn't form in numerical sequence).

 

92 also formed in 1917, although unless it's given some aeroplanes fairly shortly, we might be treated to a bit of fancy artwork on a door at the Air Warfare Centre...

Don't worry; none of them will make it to the airshows.

 

 

And why would that be? Operational obligations? Too few allocated flying hours in 2017? Lack of enthusiasm (only joking)?

Of last year's special tails, only one or two of them were seen at shows. The RAF are particularly camera shy about their anniversary ships.
