RFC Recruiting Poster

This multi-coloured recruiting poster featuring aircraft for the Royal Flying Corps would appear to be a pre-First World War product.

 

I infer that from the fact that it talks about men transferring to the reserve and annual leave allowance, not something that I think would have featured on wartime posters... Also, the airship 'Beta' was new in 1910 but had been handed over to the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) by early 1914, so almost certainly wouldn't feature on Army recruiting posters thereafter...

 

It was hung on a wall in a hall at the RAF Museum in Hendon.
