100 years of the RAF
A 1, 650lb SN Type bomb - the largest used by the RAF during the First World War - mounted on a rail trolley. The airmen stood with the weapon gives an idea of the scale of the device which measured 11ft 3in from nose to tail.
The Royal Naval Air Service (RNS) undertook the first strategic bombing missions on 22 September 1914 and 8 October, when it bombed the Zeppelin bases in Cologne and Dusseldorf.
On 6 June 1918 the British formed the Independent Force under Major General Hugh Trenchard to engage in long-range bombing directed at industrial targets deep in German territory.
Missions were undertaken with De Havilland DH9s and Handley Page O/400s, but the war ended before Britains four-engined Handley Page V/1500 bomber, designed to drop 7, 500 lbs on Berlin, entered service.
