42(TB)Sqn Crew1 Patch

This patch for 42(TB)Sqn centres on Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, and guardianship. Known for her unmatched focus and lethal accuracy, she represents the sharp instincts and disciplined watchfulness required of every maritime patrol crew graduating from 42 Sqn. Depicted with a drawn bow and a fixed gaze, Artemis embodies the moment before action and the calm, controlled readiness that defines the Poseidon Force.

Behind her, the moon glows brightly, symbolising the nocturnal vigilance of aircrew operating across vast ocean expanses. Beneath it, stylised waves lead the eye toward the unmistakable silhouette of a Russian submarine on the horizon . Highlighting the primary mission of the P-8: Anti-Submarine Warfare. The phrase “THE HUNT IS ON” anchors the design, capturing both Crew 1’s identity and the relentless pursuit of excellence that defines their training.
