RAF Postwar fonts

[inkworm]

Anyone got a good font for the RAF in 60s' or know what they used, I've not found anything really good that doesn't need tweaking.


In particular the 8 is very distinctive.


If anyone has something or a guide to the fonts (John?) so I can recreate them it would be very helpful.

I've had a look at the fonts on here but none quite seem to fit the bill.

This is close-

The S and the 6 aren't quite right but the 8 is pretty close if not the same. The X in the photo looks like the intersection of the uprights is higher than the RAF font too.

I don't know if you can get closer but my advice, as always, is use the closest font, convert it to paths and make the necessary changes to make it exact

If I find anything close I'll let you know as it must be out there somewhere meanwhile Illustrator will suffice
