"The granting of Colours is a memorable occasion in the life of any unit. It is recognition of the fact that the unit is really people, people that for 25 years have served honourably and with distinction. In the… case of 416 Squadron those people go back to 1941 and to the air and ground crews who served with such honour during the Second World War. From those wartime days we have changed aircraft four times and locations six times, but the spirit of the personnel manning the Squadron has never changed. They have remained dedicated to the maintenance of those ideals of liberty that necessitated the formation of the Squadron in 1941." - Foreword. "We do hope that fond memories will be stirred when this book is read and that it will always occupy a place of honour and serve as a memento of the time you spent on 416 Squadron." - Acknowledgements.
