RAF Centenary

100 years since the RAF was founded - and so Biggles turned up at the National Air Museum.  He was a real expert - pick any of the original objects on his table and he had a fascinating tale about it.  Like the "Princess Mary gift tin" given out to troops in Christmas 1914 - 2.6m were handed out but many were left with the sweets uneaten because of the high numbers of Hindu and Muslim troops.  The tin on display had its contents intact... but we didn't try any.
