230 Squadron

MOTTO: Kita chari jauh (Malay) - 'We search far'

BADGE: In front of a palm tree eradicated, a tiger passant guardant - approved by HRH King George VI in February 1937. The badge commemorated the Squadron's association with Malaya, the travellers palm being a reference to the long flights so often undertake and the tiger is said to have been inspired by the labels on the bottles on the local Singaporean brew.

'We knew how to whinge but we kept it in the NAAFI bar.'
