About This Tool

The RAF has been around for hundreds of years and is the oldest independent air force in the world, responsible for British air defence and other international defence obligations. The RAF was split into several groups, with clear numbering and sequencing. There are 123 groups in the random tool set up, with different dates.

Apart from routine training and military manoeuvres, these teams are also responsible for different aspects of their work. There are bombers, there are air carriers, there are armed forces. But they were well trained, and they were later consolidated and regrouped many times, and a few groups remain to this day. If you’re interested in the RAF, check out this generator and you’ll get to know them better.
