Note that in this context R.A.F. = Royal Aircraft Factory, the builder of the 'planes, not Royal Air Force. They were built for the Royal Flying Corps before the R.A.F. was formed.
Just in case anyone was confused.

I wasn't confused, but only because the distinction had never occurred to me! 😄 Thanks, @brownfox.
