About the memorial:
The standard .[100cm x 100cm] is light blue woven silk on a canvas matrix bearing the squadron emblem (a skull and crossbones) in the centre surmounted by a queen’s crown and on either side the Sqn battle honours running from Ypres 1917 to Berlin 1945. Around the edge are entwined tudor roses and thistles. Both sides of the standard are identical. The edge is fringed in pale grey silk and two tasselled “tails” are attached
The staff is in dark stained and varnished oak surmounted by a gilded eagle [bronze] with outstretched wings clasping a globe.
Beneath the standard, on the south wall, there is a collage depicting the history of the Sqn and the laying-up of the standard.
