Origin/meaning

The Water and Bouy symbolises the Flying Boats used by the Squadron when at rest. The Cormorant is to be found all round the Coast of United Kingdom and is quick to notice the Approach of an enemy. It was also used as an unofficial Badge by the Squadron. The Motto translates as "I seek my prey at sea". The Badge was approved in March 1939.
