This Standard of Number 3 (Fighter) Squadron Royal Air Force was laid
up in this church on Sunday 12 May 2013 marking the end of the
Squadron's centenary year.

Number 3 (Fighter) Squadron was formed on 13 may 1912 and was the
first squadron in the Royal Air Force to operate 'heavier than air'
aircraft. Based at Larkhill on its formation, the Standard has been
returned to the spiritual home of the Squadron where it will remain
unfolded in this House of God until such a time as it shall pass to dust
like those courage and devotion are enshrined in its history

Tertius Primus Erit (The Third will be the First)
