Please click this image for HM The Queen's presentation speech: the Standard, a fringed and tasselled silken banner, mounted on a pike surmounted by a Golden Eagle, was created by His late Majesty King George VI to mark the twenty fifth anniversary of the Royal Air Force in 1943. Squadrons qualify for the award of a Standard after twenty five years of service or for especially meritorious operations. Eight selected battle honours in scroll surround the Squadron badge. The decorative border is embroidered with the national emblems of the British Isles.  [image: Barry Goodwin]
