Revised RCAF Markings

[RichB]

The change will be applied on an "opportunity basis" and will see the text "RCAF" and "ARC" added to either side of the roundel. The new layout will be "RCAF * ARC". The new combination may mean a relocation on some aircraft types. The "Signature Canadian Forces/Forces Canadiennes" will also be removed at this time.

I believe everyone knows what "RCAF" stands for. "ARC" is the abbreviation for the official French name "Aviation Royale Canadienne". The return to the pre-unification French name "Force Aerienne Royale Canadienne" was shot down when it was noted that the abbreviation "FARC" was already in use.

Cheers,
