You might like to know that the late S/L Paddy Brown (the then OC) 'initiated' the adoption of the Flight Emblem, although the first design was a slightly more irreverent rear end view of the poor animal. The late S/L Pete Stonham (the subsequent CO) 'implemented' the final side on elephant design.
It was in the late 80’s when the Flight adopted the emblem. The grey elephant on a green shield background, took an inspiration from the elephants at Howletts Wild Animal Park at Bekesbourne, Canterbury which could always be clearly seen against the green of the surrounding countryside.
