During the Cyprus conflict, particularly in the 1970s, the Royal Navy played a role in supporting British interests and maintaining peace in the region. The British established military bases on the island, which were strategically important during the tensions between Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The Royal Navy also conducted operations, including evacuations and humanitarian missions, to assist British nationals and facilitate stability amidst the violence. Their presence underscored the UK's commitment to its colonial legacy and regional security during a tumultuous period.

I hope you meant the RAF. There is no RIF. The Royal Air Force exists today. During World War 2 they were known as the RAAF, Royal Army Air Force.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect, as there has never been a 'Royal Army Air Force'. The letters, 'RAAF', represents the Royal Australian Air Force!The Royal Air Force was formed in 1918, by amalgamating the Royal Flying Corps (essentially part of the British Army), and the Royal Naval Air Service (part of the Royal Navy). This is one of the reasons that the RAF rank insignia is based on that of the Royal Navy. The Royal Navy still retains an independent air wing, called the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). And, yes, the RAF does exist today.
