The badge details for this badge are identical to those for 214 Squadron listed below. However, when the badge was originally authorised, it was produced with the word ‘Bomber’ in the title circlet. This original badge was destroyed by fire during the war and by the time a new badge was painted, squadron role designations were no longer included on any badges for security reasons, hence the record of two badges for this squadron.
