CS,

The double-headed lion rampant on the crest comes from the university coat of arms:



However, whoever designed the crest, chose sky-blue for the lion, a colour which is often used in RAF crests.


Dora 9,

A nice photo, but I have to say, I prefer this one:



The university colours are much more prominent and I'm biased. That was when I was I42 (and younger and slimmer) :



Can anyone tell me what the small circular object is, in the yellow band, directly below the windshield frame?

PS A thought that has just occurred to me. All the UBAS Chipmunks had letters, but we never used the letters. It was always the serial number. I flew WD353 quite a lot, but WD292 was the one I put most hours in.
