MAAF Singapore Squadron Crest





MAAF is the acronym for Malayan Auxiliary Air Force. The Singapore Squadron was formed in 1950 and finally disbanded in 1960.
The Squadron Crest features a gold lion passant on a tower surrounded by the words "Malayan Auxiliary Air Force Singapore Squadron; surmounted by a crown; with the motto : "USQUE AD ASTRA". . . . which is Latin for "All the way to the Stars."

Thanks to Peter Chew Kok Wei for the Squandron Crest. Peter is the son of Squadron Leader Jimmy Chew, former Adjutant with MAAF (Singapore Wing).
