Fair use rationale for No. 223 Squadron RAF[edit]

No free-licensed or public domain images have been located that would serve as a suitable replacement for this image.

Given the purpose this image is being used for in the article, it is unlikely that any such image will be located in the future (copyright for departmental logos and the Royal Arms are protected by Letters Patent and will never expire under the terms of the Copyrights Designs and Patents Act 1988.)

As a squadron logo, the image has little to no commercial value, and its reproduction here will not deleteriously affect profits for the copyright holder.

The image is being used here for informational purposes only, and its use on the English-language Wikipedia is not predicted to affect the value of the image or that of its copyright in any way.

The source of the material must be identified and the copyright status acknowledged. HMSO has explicitly stated in official correspondence that material under Crown Copyright may not be relicensed under the GNU Free Documentation Licence.

Thus, this is a non-free licence for the purpose of Wikipedia, as modification is not permitted. However, it is believed that the use of this work:
