The RAF's Armourers

Safely Making Aircraft Dangerous Since the First World War

Beschreibung

The role of the Armourer has been crucial to the Royal Air Force (RAF) since its inception in 1912. Lord Trenchard, founder of the RAF, famously said, "The Armourer - without him there is no need for an air force." This profession, dating back to ancient times, has evolved alongside the RAF, adapting to new military technologies and aircraft.
