NO. 6 SQUADRON

NO. 6 SQUADRON The No 6 Squadron is one of the ten senior squadrons of the Indian Air Force, raised before Independence. The squadron formed at Trichinopoly (now Tiruchirapally) on December 1, 1942 under the command of the redoubtable Squadron Leader Mehar Singh. The 'Dragon' emblem was initially carried on the B-24 Liberators of the Squadron. A modified version of this dragon is shown on the patch currently worn by the pilots of the Squadron.

RESEVE BANK OF INDIA The emblem of Reserve Bank of India has Royal Bengal tiger standing in front of a palm tree. The tiger was referred from the statue at the gate of Belvedere, Kolkata. These are ensconced by ‘ भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक ’ on top and ‘RESERVE BANK OF INDIA’ at the bottom. This has been completed by two concentric circles with thin and thick lines. Obviously, this design is very formal and emphasises the ‘Government status of the bank’ with Indian motif which resembles a heraldry. Indeed, it complied with the then requirements of mono colour reproduction and stamping and embossing functions when used at elite stationery. The Royal Bengal tiger or Bengal tiger ( Panthera tigris tigris) , is a subspecies of tiger native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. Since 25th century BCE it was found on the Pashupati seal of the Indus Valley Civilisation. Later this was the symbol of the Chola Empire from 300 CE to 1279 CE and is now the official animal of India. The combination of
