RAF Graffiti

We found this graffiti inside the Gosfield Tower. The owner paints around the picture in an effort to preserve it.
Gosfield was the home of the 365th Fighter Group,397th Bomb Group (M),410th Bomb Group (M), and 299 Squadron. Not modern RAF I know, but graffiti all the same;)

RAF Graffiti

Reminding me of the ops board at Drem being painted over a few years ago still showing flights etc that had been written up in chalk.:eek:

just look at any current aircrafts refuel panel to see loads of graffiti.

we had a scrap C130 in work, an ex RAF tanker. its last tour was around south america, and the 245 bulkhead and the hogs trough were absoloutely covered in stckers and hand written graffiti…was a pity to see it chopped up.

also , until recently you could see written on the back of the hangar wall in pencil ‘hind rudder cables’ and ‘hart brake cables’ next to 2 nails in the wall, these date from when the aircraft were fixed there in the 30’s. sadly after a bit of a refurb, they’ve been painted over. (kind of shows how tight the company is, first coat of paint in 70 years!)

RAF Graffiti

Another one, this time found at the old RAF Drem.
Cant be much WW1 Graffiti lying around these days.

Try the Guard Box on three site RAF High Wycombe or inside the S259 cabin that was shipped back from the Falklands and now sits at the Radar museum at Neatishead, full of graffiti, both of them…..errr, so I’m told……..

Wasn’t me, right?

That happened whilst it was sitting outdoors at Lackland (?) back in the States.

Not RAF graffiti, but gouged graffiti on the B24 in the AAM at Duxford was worrying.

Tangmere & Dizzy Allen

Sadly, I didn’t photograph it but the inimitable H.R.”Dizzy” Allen had chalked his own grafiti by the door to the Officers Mess at Tangmere, c 1981. It read “Dizzy Allen. CO of 43 Sqn here. This place is a *********g disgrace” or something similar!
