    Did you think that they were another colour other than brown for the RAF in 1918? The RAF was formed in 1918 and it's predecessor, the Royal Flying Corp (RFC), was part of the army so it was only natural that the RFC also used brown Sam Brown belts etc.

    I think that you asking when did the RAF start using white style Sam Brown leather belts for ceremonial purposes?
