I've edited the article back to British Royal Air Force as it reads a little more naturally than Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom. The adjective British refers to the whole of the UK and not just GB and so the use of British in this context is accurate. See British for confirmation of this point.

A google search returns no results on Arthur Button + Air Vice Marshal or + RAF, apart from this article or wiki mirror sites. However the RAF Museum Archive Dept., Colindale, London, confirms that he was an Air Vice Marshall (in 1972) and was awarded the OBE. Tyrenius 11:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't own a Who Was Who, as I'm obviously a member of the Google generation, like many people on Wiki. I recorded my research to prevent this article being suspected of being a hoax if anyone else did a search and came up with nil non-wiki results. However, as you can see, I did get access to a Who's Who 1976. Previous to this citation the article had no verifiable references given. Tyrenius 17:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
His pilot experience during this time was mainly for instructional puposes. Does Who Was Who not contain this information? In which case, I wonder what it does say about Button's flying experience during this period? Tyrenius 15:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
