RAF No.27 Sqn, ZA564, RAF Marham, England, Squadron 75th Anniversary 1990 9-1/4" Long - 7-3/4" Wide
No.27 Squadron re-equipped with the Tornado GR.1 in August 1983, previously using Avro Vulcans in the reconnaissance role until 1982. The Squadron's badge of a green elephant recalls the fact that its first equipment, in 1915 was the Martinside G.100 'Elephant'. In 1990, No.27 Squadron celebrated its 75th Anniversary and to mark the occasion this Tornado was specially decorated in the squadron's colors of green and yellow. No.27 Squadron disbanded in 1993 with its Tornados and shortly reformed as a reserve squadron with Chinook helicopters.
