401 Squadron RCAF Reborn!

I only just read this!

This raises for me some things to think about with respect to our group I think. We'll need to discuss internally.

Fly F-18's in DCS when  released? Also continue with CLoD.(My vote).

I've met both Eric Kenny and Scotty Mullins and you couldn't ask for two more professional fighter pilots. In fact, our entire fighter community stand very tall in comparision with other world class fighter organizations within NATO and our Eastern allies. Great bunch.

Does this now pose any legal issues with using the 401 identity on-line? I'm not aware of any other active military units that has a virtual mirror organization behind it? It might mean that we need to brand ourselfs No.401 Virtual Squadron RCAF versus the traditional No.401 Squadron which is now back in active service. If this were a commercial enterprise with registered trade mark and company name/logo etc, we would be in trouble, but a military unit, not sure since the logo is authorized by the Queen and presented under authority of Governor General and governed under the CF Identity System and administered by Directorate History & Heritage.

Badges and Insignia

Here's a link to the an article regarding the retrieval of the colours:

Great work Wolverine,

I dare say that we can continue to acknowledge the accomplishments and sacrifices of our WWII hero's without trespassing upon the identity of the current generation.

The King's Badge looks fantastic. I looked on-line for a version of this quality and never found one. Again, great work.
