Ah but 43 got their own back a few years later when Typhoon prototype ZH588 (the sexy black one) was up at Leuchars conducting some HAS-compatibility trials. It soon had a Fighting Cock on the tail fin (might be the only time you'll see that) which it still sports to this day.... in the RAF Museum at Hendon!
And in 1996, the 5-foot high squadron crest at the entrance to 74(F) Sqn complete with motto "I FEAR NO MAN" was subtley altered with the addition of the letter "R". The next day a mystery caller rang the Ops desk & simply said "Hello, I'm Norman.....".
