Some weeks, the story isn’t an operation or an aircraft. It’s the people who’ve been showing up, week after week, to listen, write in, and share what this project means to them.
This episode is a short one. No deep dive, no chaptered breakdown, just a genuine thank you to everyone who’s been listening, getting in touch, and following along on socials, plus a quick look at something going up on the site this week: how RAF aircraft supported the occupation of Archangel on 2 August 1918, only months after the Service itself was formed.
In this episode:
- Why this week’s episode is a short one, and what’s coming next
- A thank you to everyone who’s written in with messages, memories, and corrections
- Where to find The RAF Chronicle across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Pinterest (@therafchronicle)
- A preview of this week’s On This Day feature: RAF air support during the occupation of Archangel, 2 August 1918
- Why even a small, overlooked episode like Archangel says something important about the RAF’s earliest expeditionary role
- A reminder that On This Day runs every single day at theroyalairforcechronicle.co.uk
