The parading personnel and Standard Party were provided by the Queen’s Colour Squadron and supported by the squadron.
601 Squadron Royal Auxiliary Air Force has a long and distinguished history as a flying squadron, being involved in the Battle of Britain. It was reformed four years ago to support the Service’s engagement strategy. Squadron members work in various industries and bring their professional experience and background to enhance this role. The Squadron’s success lies in its cognitive diversity and its ability to deliver its three core principles of advice, access and advocacy.
In the approach to the Royal Auxiliary Air Force’s centenary, nine new Squadron Standards will be presented to squadrons across the Service to honour the commitment, resilience and contributions of their auxiliary members.
