Updated: 13 Apr 2014

Reel one. Three Provost aircraft fly low over Cranwell college. An R.A.F. bus stops outside the college gates, inside the bus young cadets in civilian cloths look through the window at the planes and the college. We identify Howard and Ellis as they watch the Provosts peel off in different directions. In the college entrance hall Howard and Ellis take the Oath of Allegiance. On the walls are portraits of famous airmen, Lord Trenchard and Douglas Bader. In stores Howard and Ellis receive their flying equipment and helmet and Howard is being measured for his uniform. In a classroom the cadets are being lectured on the principle of flight. In front of the main building Senior Cadet Officer takes the salute as the R.A.F. flag is lowered. A Sergeant shouts at Howard as a squad of cadets march up and down. Interior, an instructor lectures around a jet engine, we see the engine turning. On a runway cadets cluster around a jet aircraft as an instructor points out features. Air to air a Chipmonk is in flight, in the cockpit Ellis receives instruction. In small cubicles Ellis and other cadets are being instructed in navigation, they talk into mouth pieces and plot their routes on charts. Howard and Ellis are seen studying in their rooms and the library. Ellis receives individual tuition from a tutor in front of a cosy fire. The cadets are seen cross-country running, sailing dinghies on a river, playing football and rugby. In Scotland the cadets are erecting tents by a lake, an officer looks on as they cook and adjust their tents. In the air, Howard sitting next to his instructor, is flying a jet Provost. On the tarmac Provosts are lined up. In the Squadron Operations room a senior instructor briefs the cadets with words like "echelon starboard and run in". The cadets drink coffee and chat in their crew room, two of them walk out onto the tarmac. In the cockpit of a Provost Howard is being briefed before flying solo. As the instructor drives to the control tower in a Landrover, we see details in the cockpit as Howard prepares for his flight. Air to Air we see the plane take off and fly, intercut between Howard and the control tower giving instructions. The plain lands successfully.Back on the tarmac Howard is criticised by his instructor, undaunted Howard joins his pal Ellis and others and they move off together. A Valetta aircraft is in flight, inside a Navigation instructor walks down the gangway talking to cadets as they check their maps. Shots of the Valetta in flight. Shot looking up at the clock tower pan down to entrance of the main Cranwell building as cadets enter. Inside the cadets walk to their various activities. A French lesson, radio or radar equipment demonstration, a group of cadets around a wind tunnel demonstration showing aerofoils under pressure. Officers and cadets attend a grand diner in full military evening dress, a military band plays music. A batman brings Howard his uniform, Ellis joins him, they are now senior cadets and they plan a flight on a map. Provosts in the air flying over countryside and buildings. Air to air shots VG pictures as they fly in formation and do aerobatics. In a large classroom the cadets ask military questions to a British Major and a U.S.A.A.A.F. Major, places are pointed to on wall maps. Air to Air Valetta in flight, navigator speaks to pilot, he looks at his watch and the pilot gives a thumbs up. All is well and the plane flies on.

Royal Air Force ready to SHOOT DOWN Russian Air Force Aircraft

Updated: 22 Sep 2015

A great video showing the Royal air force is ready to confront the Russian Air Force if called upon. The Royal Air Force (RAF) is the United Kingdom's aerial warfare force. Formed toward the end of the First World War on 1 April 1918,[3] it is the oldest independent air force in the world.[4] Following victory over the Central Powers in 1918 the RAF emerged as, at the time, the largest air force in the world.[5] Since its formation, the RAF has taken a significant role in British military history, in particular, playing a large part in the Second World War where it fought its most famous campaign, the Battle of Britain.[6] The RAF's mission is to support the objectives of the British Ministry of Defence (MoD), which are to "provide the capabilities needed: to ensure the security and defence of the United Kingdom and overseas territories, including against terrorism; to support the Government’s foreign policy objectives particularly in promoting international peace and security."[1] The RAF describe its mission statement as "... [to provide] An agile, adaptable and capable Air Force that, person for person, is second to none, and that makes a decisive air power contribution in support of the UK Defence Mission."[7] The mission statement is supported by the RAF's definition of air power, which guides its strategy. Air power is defined as: "The ability to project power from the air and space to influence the behaviour of people or the course of events."[8] Today the Royal Air Force maintains an operational fleet of various types of aircraft,[9] described by the RAF as being "leading-edge" in terms of technology.[10] This largely consists of fixed-wing aircraft, including: fighter and strike aircraft, airborne early warning and control aircraft, ISTAR and SIGINT aircraft, aerial refueling aircraft and strategic and tactical transport aircraft. The majority of the RAF's rotary-wing aircraft form part of the tri-service Joint Helicopter Command in support of ground forces. Most of the RAF's aircraft and personnel are based in the UK, with many others serving on operations (principally Afghanistan) or at long-established overseas bases (Ascension Island, Cyprus, Gibraltar, and the Falkland Islands). Although the RAF is the principal British air power arm, the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and the British Army's Army Air Corps also deliver air power which is integrated into the maritime, littoral and land environments. History[edit] Main article: History of the Royal Air Force Origins[edit] While the British were not the first to make use of heavier-than-air military aircraft, the RAF is the world's oldest independent air force: that is, the first air force to become independent of army or navy control.[4] It was founded on 1 April 1918, with headquarters located in the former Hotel Cecil, during the First World War, by the amalgamation of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). At that time it was the largest air force in the world. After the war, the service was drastically cut and its inter-war years were relatively quiet, with the RAF taking responsibility for the control of Iraq and executing a number of minor actions in other parts of the British Empire. The RAF's naval aviation branch, the Fleet Air Arm, was founded in 1924 but handed over to Admiralty control on 24 May 1939. The RAF developed the doctrine of strategic bombing which led to the construction of long-range bombers and became its main bombing strategy in the Second World War.[11] Second World War[edit] A later version of the Spitfires which played a major part in the Battle of Britain. Further information: Air warfare of World War II The RAF underwent rapid expansion prior to and during the Second World War. Under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan of December 1939, the air forces of British Commonwealth countries trained and formed "Article XV squadrons" for service with RAF formations. Many individual personnel from these countries, and exiles from occupied Europe, also served with RAF squadrons. By the end of the war the Royal Canadian Air Force had contributed more than 30 squadrons to serve in RAF formations, similarly, approximately a quarter of Bomber Command's personnel were Canadian.[12] Additionally, the Royal Australian Air Force represented around nine percent of all RAF personnel who served in the European and Mediterranean theaters.[13] The Avro Lancaster heavy bomber was extensively used during the strategic bombing of Germany. In the Battle of Britain in 1940, the RAF (supplemented by 2 Fleet Air Arm Squadrons, Polish, Czecho-Slovak and other multinational pilots and ground personnel) defended the skies over Britain against the numerically superior German Luftwaffe. In what is perhaps the most prolonged and complicated air campaign in history, the Battle of Britain contributed significantly to the delay and subsequent indefinite postponement of Hitler's plans for an
