Speaking about this landmark event, Richard Freed, St James’s House CEO, said“For the past six months, the RAF’s centenary celebrations have been in the publicconsciousness and were building up to yesterday’s momentous occasion. Londoncame to a standstill for the flypast and it is an honour for St James’s House to have worked on the RAF100 Appeal’s commemorative album which features a wideselection of breath-taking imagery from the RAF Museum’s extensive archives to mark this historic occasion.”
