[edit]

I thought it'd be a nice change. You know, put in the cropped version of King George VI.

Cropped version.

That sounds like good idea to use a cropped version. It has a more prominent view of the subject and can match the lead images of other monarchs in his time. G0dzillaboy02 (talk) 19:25, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Air Force?

[edit]

I am not sure of the claim Prince Albert served in the RAF in the First World War. I had understood that the RAF was formed after the war by combining the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. Presumably the young Prince would have served in the RNAS, but I don't know. As the RNAS was part of the Navy, I'd suggest deleting the reference to the RAF. 219.89.20.244 (talk) 21:34, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's explained and cited in the article body. DrKay (talk) 06:40, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
