The Central Band of the RAF was formed in 1920, shortly after the RAF had been formed in 1918. Their version of the theme from the Dam Busters reached No. 18 in October 1955, spending one week in the UK Top 20.[2]
The band has given performances on BBC Radio 2's Friday Night is Music Night in October 2010[3] and, to mark the 100th anniversary of the formation of the RAF, in April 2018.[4]
