No 12(B) Squadron, RAF commemorated its 90th Anniversary in 2005 by painting one of its current Tornado GR.4s in this smart scheme. The names under the cockpit are in honour of two former 12 Squadron aircrew who lost their lives in WW2, Flg.Off. D.E.Garland and Sgt. T.Gray, whowere the first RAF personnel in WW2 to be awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously after flying a Fairey Battle (P2204/K) on 12 May 1940 against a bridge over the Albert Canal at Vroenhoeven. Both crew were awarded the VC on 11 June 1940. In 2001, No. 12(B) Squadron replaced its Tornado GR.1s with GR.4s and the Squadron continues to support operations in Southern Iraq.
