Welcome to the 111 (F) Squadron Association Website
In March 2011, as the last remaining F3 Tornado squadron, 111 (F) disbanded. One of the premier fighter squadrons in the Royal Air Force, it is expected that the squadron will reform at some time in the future as a Typhoon squadron.
The squadron spirit remains a live in the legacy that its members have created, through many years of outstanding front line service , and through the work of the 111 (F) Squadron Association. If you are interested in joining the Association, then please contact us via our contact form.
The Sqn crest is instantly recognizable - but what does each component signify? In front of two swords in saltire, a cross potent quadrat, charged with three seaxes fesswise in pale - approved by King Edward VIII in October 1936. The cross commemorates First World War operations in Palestine, the seaxes signify RAF Hornchurch in Essex - where the Sqn was based at the time the crest was initially designed in 1934 - and the swords signify London, the unit being part of the capital's defences when the badge was designed.
The motto, Adstantes is Latin for Standing By (them), in reference to the Sqns' previous role in maintaining the air defence of the UK.
