Royal Air Force

The Royal Air Force (or RAF) was one branch of Great Britain's military.

History
The Royal Air Force saw much action in World War II, specifically in the London Blitz, when it was engaged in protecting Britain from Luftwaffe attacks.

When the Progenitor Daleks used a beacon on their ship to activate the lights in London, leaving it vulnerable to German attack, four RAF pilots were sent in Spitfires enhanced with Dalek technology to destroy the beacon.

All but one of the four Spitfires were destroyed. However, the last one destroyed the beacon when the Eleventh Doctor disabled the Daleks' shields. As the Spitfire prepared to destroy the saucer, the Doctor ordered the pilot to return to London as the Daleks were threatening to destroy Earth. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)

In 1963, The Seventh Doctor encountered members of the Royal Air Force during the Shoreditch Incident. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)

UNIT called for the Royal Air Force's assistance on many occasions, such as fighting the giant maggots (TV: The Green Death) and the K1 robot. (TV: Robot) On one occasion, UNIT had RAF bombers attack Chase Mansion, targeting the Krynoid present on its grounds. The attack was a success and the Krynoid was slain. (TV: The Seeds of Doom)

When the Daleks invaded Earth in 2009 the RAF retreated over north Africa. (TV: The Stolen Earth)
