Answer
There are no plans to use the 100th anniversary of the RAF to recognise Lady MacRobert's financial contribution to the RAF. The connection between the RAF and the MacRobert family is already maintained through the MacRobert Prize for graduating officers at RAF Cranwell. The Lady MacRobert Trophy is awarded between contesting Air Training Corps (ATC) squadrons in the North East Scotland Wing whilst 49F (Greenock (MacRobert's Reply)) Squadron of the ATC bears the family name.
