Summary

[edit]
Description
British English: No. 64 Squadron RAF badge. Its motto was 'Tenax propositi' - latin for 'Firm of purpose'. The badge depicts a scarabee, which is an Egyptian hieroglyph, and represents the squadron's association with Egypt. Following disbanding in 1919, the squadron war reestablished on 1 March 1936 at Heliopolis, Egypt, in response to the Abyssinian Crisis, and fought there until being relocated to the UK in 1939. It was finally disbanded on 16 June 1967.
