Annual Reunions

A tradition unbroken since 1917 — generations united in fellowship

Milestone

The Centenary Reunion

In June 2016, No. 46 Squadron Association celebrated its 100th Annual Reunion Dinner at RAF Benson — marking a century of unbroken fellowship, one of the longest continuous traditions in the Royal Air Force.

"Generations of aircrew and ground staff united by shared sacrifice and enduring bonds of service."

Roll of Honour

We will remember them

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them."

— Laurence Binyon, "For the Fallen"

Special tribute to the pilots lost aboard HMS Glorious, 8 June 1940
