207 SQUADRON ROYAL AIR FORCE HISTORY

Official Photos of the Presentation of
207 (R) Squadron's New Standard
on 25 Nov 2003 at RAF Linton-on-Ouse

Provided by the Squadron, these are the photos taken by the Official Photographer. Crown Copyright is acknowledged. This is a very large page so please allow time for the images to load. The Battle Honours are now correct: the old Standard erroneously referred to German Forts 1941-45. Nor has either Standard included the word Bomber.
