Photo

[edit]

I thought it'd be a nice change. You know, put in the cropped version of King George VI.

RicLightning (talk)00:39, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like good idea to use a cropped version. It has a more prominent view of the subject and can match the lead images of other monarchs in his time.G0dzillaboy02 (talk)19:25, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Age at King George V's death

Royal Air Force?

[edit]

I am not sure of the claim Prince Albert served in the RAF in the First World War. I had understood that the RAF was formed after the war by combining the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. Presumably the young Prince would have served in the RNAS, but I don't know. As the RNAS was part of the Navy, I'd suggest deleting the reference to the RAF.219.89.20.244 (talk)21:34, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's explained and cited in the article body.DrKay (talk)06:40, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The RAF was formed on 1 April 1918 when WWI was still in progress, RNAS and RFC personnel then serving on that date automatically transferred into the merged new force.Cloptonson (talk)08:36, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
