As the Royal Auxiliary Air Force prepares to mark 100 years of voluntary service in the RAF, Battle of Britain Class locomotive No:34081 will temporarily change its name from “92 Squadron” to “Royal Auxiliary Air Force” to honour the thousands of men and women who have given so much to support the Royal Air Force in its work at home and overseas in the last 100 years.
