Happy Birthday to the Royal Air Force.

100 years today, and I'm proud to say I did my bit as part of it for 14 years.

I shan't be at the celebrations by our Trade Group near the remnants of No. 1 Radio School RAF Locking (Weston-super-mare). Accommodation was impossible due to it being a Bank Holiday, and with Bristol Temple Meads station being shut today I couldn't even nip over for the day by train.

But I will raise a glass later!

I thought it was tomorrow? (1st April 1918)

Actually it is, but the celebrations started early so as to be ready for a good cheer at midnight.
