Kevin Callahan Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 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.

XV107 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Don't worry; none of them will make it to the airshows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors54 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I have it on good authority that a certain large grey AAR a/c will be sporting an anniversary tail scheme later this year....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too few allocated flying hours in 2017? Lack of enthusiasm (only joking)? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twobad Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Not RAF, but the BAE/HAL Hawk collaboration livery has recently been unveiled. Might be a bit of a challenge though. http://www.livefistdefence.com/2017/02/exclusive-bae-hal-unveil-joint-advanced-hawk.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
