Seven squadron identities. Five nations. How many can you identify?

 

The seven motifs draw on squadron badges and the markings derived from them as carried on aircraft. To make the challenge a little more difficult, they have been tonally reinterpreted and are not shown in their original colours. Their distinctive heraldic forms, however, remain recognisable.

 

Identify all seven squadrons or units represented, from left to right (1–7). For each one, give the squadron or unit name/designation and its country.

 

Get all seven correct and you will be entered into a draw to win one Flight Insignia T-shirt of your choice.

 

Send your answers to info@flightinsignia.com with the subject line “Squadron Heraldry Challenge”.

 

Good luck — this one isn't supposed to be easy.
