1 Sqn RAF Regiment 1980's

Sqn RAF Regiment Afghanistan
After the evacuation of Dunkirk, the invasion of Norway,
Greece and the failure of Allied forces in Crete to successfully
defend the airfields which led to the fall of the island, it
became clear that the Army with it's resources severely
stretched might not be able to cope with the added burden of
defending RAF airfields and installations. It was decided to
form a new corps to specialise in defensive operations to secure
the airfields from attack and so by Royal Warrant from George VI
on the 1st of February 1942 the Corps of the Royal Air Force
Regiment was officially formed.
The roots of the Regiment go back even further than
that to the 1920s with the introduction of the RAF Armoured Car
Companies in the Middle East. No.1 AAC was formed at Heliopolis, Egypt
in December 1921, for service in Iraq. No.2 ACC was also formed at
Heliopolis on 7th April 1922 for service in Transjordan, and remained at
Amman. The Armoured Car Companies were incorporated into the RAF
Regiment in 1946.
