Challenger 1’s and CVRT’s of the 17th/21st Lancers in an aerial photograph with the tanks forming the shape of the ‘motto’ of the regiment, see image 2 for reference. Challenger 1’s form the outlines of the skull and crossbones, the eyes of the skull formed by the regimental 2iC (Second in Command) and one of the Squadron Leaders. The nose of the skull is formed by the CO’s tank with 2x CVRT Sultan command vehicles on the flanks. The teeth of the skull being formed by the REME LAD (light aid detachment) with Chieftain ARV’s (armoured recovery vehicles), finally with Recce Troop’s CVRT’s forming the majority of the motto banner. Unlike other armies, the British Army utilises regiment/squadron/troop nomenclature for tank/cavalry units, as do many other commonwealth nations, rather than the usual battalion/company/platoon terms used by other countries.
