The Llu Awyr Frenhiniol Gymreig was born by Royal Charter on the 20th July 1919 at a ceremony in the Aerodrome at Llanilltyd Fawr. The King, a keen amateur pilot had contributed his personal squadron of bi-planes (Morane-Saulnier P aircraft) which formed the nucleus around which the young air force would grow. Hostility within both the Admiralty and the War Office had led to the delay in either service utilising any form of air power (although by 1912 the Army had begun to formalise the use of balloons with its artillery units (mainly as spotters). The two forces pushing for the Air Force would be the King and a forward thinking Army general by the name of Emrys Gruffudd Vaughan (an Artillery officer by trade)
