RAF
RAF stands for Rich and Famous as opposed to Royal Air Force
IS it me or was it always the Royal family members and the Aristocrats that could join the RAF?
I am not sure about now, but in the early days of RAF it was only the aristocrats who could become pilots and join the RAF, does anyone know why exactly and how they go to completely seperate and hand pick people?
Well I suppose they make the none rich fail their tests or claim they are not fit enough to become pilots.
Perhaps until the late 70s that ordinary people could join the RAF, and this is just an assumption on my part.
Your views?
anyone here who has more on this topic?
Thanks
