Summary

Description
English: Pictured is a 28 Sqn Chinook from RAF Benson as it departs as part of a 9-ship formation for the flypast over Buckingham Palace to mark the RAF's Centenary year.

One hundred days after the RAF’s official 100th birthday on 1 April, the RAF marked its centenary on the 10th July 2018 in a day of national celebrations. The celebrations culminated in a sensational flypast of 100 aircraft, including 22 Typhoon jets in an iconic ‘100’ formation.

Over 1,000 RAF servicemen and women performed a ceremonial parade on The Mall in central London, along with almost 300 personnel lining the route, including people from a variety of roles and RAF stations, representing the full diversity of the current Air Force.

Her Majesty the Queen honoured the RAF with the presentation of a new Queen’s Colour at a ceremony on the forecourt of Buckingham Palace.

RAF Benson in South Oxfordshire is a support helicopter main operating base working within the Joint Helicopter Command. RAF Benson is home to two front-line Puma HC2 helicopter squadrons, and one Operational Conversion Unit, flying a mix of Puma HC2 and Chinook HC4 helicopters. It is also home to the civilian National Police Air Service and the Thames Valley Air Ambulance that operate 24 hours a day.
