The event lasted an hour but it covered more than 80 years of Air Force history, tradition and honour.

The occasion was the dedication of the national Air Force Memorial on Anzac Parade in Canberra on November 1.

A new granite wall depicting scenes from the Air Force's proud history was unveiled during the ceremony. The event ended with a flypast of venerable and memorable aircraft from a spitfire to a Vampire.
