Yes, it's called the Royal Canadian Air Force...

The failure of Germany to achieve its objectives of destroying Britain's air defences, or forcing Britain to negotiate anarmistice or an outright surrender, is considered its first major defeat and a crucial turning point in World War II.[19] By preventing Germany from gaining air superiority, the battle ended the threat that Adolf Hitler would launch Operation Sea Lion, a proposed amphibious and airborne invasion of Britain.

The Royal Air Force also known as the RAF is the aerial warfare division of the British Armed Forces. They serve the United Kingdom but have several long established overseas bases.

The "Old Haltonians Social Network" is a paid network exclusively for anyone who was an apprentice or a member of the directing staff of the apprentices college at RAF Halton. (Recuit Training and Airman's Development)

The RAF have approximately 30 Hercules. These are now being supplemented by the Airbus A400.

No, the Royal Pioneer Corps was part of the British Army.

The Pioneers (nickname - "The Chunkies") was a military labour force which usually worked closely with the Royal Engineers building camps, field fortifications, general facilities etc; the Corps was also responsible for recruitment and management of locally recruited civilian labour forces.

Pioneers were also fully trained infantrymen, and played a key role in providing security for headquarters and other sensitive sites. They were also available to divisional commanders as a general infantry reserve force.

The Corps had its depot in Northampton in the English East Midlands. They were often mocked by other soldiers, but in fact were invaluable general purpose "utility" troops whose ranks often included multiskilled soldiers and military eccentrics whose capabilities did not quite "fit" into any other unit. In recent times their roles have been subsumed into the Royal Logistic Corps, so they're still part of the British army, just under a different guise.

RAF would be the abbreviation or acronym of Royal Air Force.

There is a good song book called "Bless 'em all" available on Amazon.

29 Years as Royal Air Force Armourer: March 1977 to June 2006

As the majority of aircrew recruited during WWII were RAFVR (Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve) I am trying to find out how many were killed during the war. I am an ex-member of 7006 Flt, RAFVR and have noticed that the majority of names on war memorials contain the service dedication of "RAFVR" and not "RAF". 95% of bomber command in 1943 were RAFVR, until an order issued by the Air Command allowing the removal of the brass "VR" collar dogs for officers and the cloth "VR" badge worn by the other ranks on the shoulders above the rank markings. As bomber command was 95% VR, I want to know how many "RAF" were actually "RAFVR".

I don't believe there ever was an RAF Watford. The nearest name to that are Watton and Waddington. The RAF Museum is located near the town of Watford, but not known as RAF Watford.

Number 617 Squadron RAF became commonly known as the Dambusters. This is due to their actions during Operation Chastise against German dams during World War II.
