Coat of arms (crest) of the 940th Squadron, Royal Netherlands Air Force

Official blazon

In keel een mier van sabel met omtrekkende lijnen in zilver. Het geheel omgeven door de vastgestelde omlijsting, met in het ovaalvormige gouden plaatje het nummer 940 in Arabische cijfers van sabel, en op het gouden lint de embleemspreuk ‘tot uw dienst’, in Latijnse letters van sabel.

Origin/meaning

The ant was chosen as the squadron emblem. Ants are hardworking animals that work well together as a team. Ants are intelligent insects that live together in ordered units of many individuals. They have developed their social instincts to a high degree of perfection and conduct their campaigns as well-disciplined armies. Ants help each other in need and defend their nests at the risk of their own lives. Within the colony, information is transmitted quickly over great distances. A regular division of labor is established, and all are imbued with great zeal, each individual ant working not only for himself, but above all for his fellow creatures.
