A BRAND NEW PAIR OF ROYAL AIR FORCE RANK SLIDES.

MARSHAL OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE.

**NB - THESE SLIDES HAVE BEEN PRODUCED BY THE JOINING OF AIR COMMODORE AND GROUP CAPTAINS BRAID TO FORM THE CORRECT CONFIGUATION OF STRIPES FOR MRAF.

I asked one of the UK's leading RAF Tailors and Outfitters about them having been made from Air Commodore and Group Captains braid and they informed me that as far as they knew and could remember from over 50 years of supplying RAF Uniforms and Equipment the MRAF Braid had never been woven as an entity.

The UK's two leading weavers of ribbons and Braid have both confirmed that they have no record of ever having woven the MRAF Braid as one entity.

Marshal of the Royal Air Force (MRAF) is the highest rank in the Royal Air Force.

In peacetime it was held only by RAF officers in the appointment of Chief of the Defence Staff, and by retired Chiefs of the Air Staff, who were promoted to it immediately before retirement.

Promotions to the rank have ceased since the British defence cuts of the 1990s.

While surviving Marshals of the RAF retain the rank for life, the highest rank to which officers on active service are promoted is now Air Chief Marshal, although promotion to Marshal of the Royal Air Force is still possible in wartime, and for members of the Royal Family and certain other very senior officers in peacetime at the discretion of the Monarch
