I was concerned with this early on. For me, the Camospit came about as close
as I thought we should come to the relationship between our Spitfires and The
Battle of Britain. It has some precedence from the ad and it chimes with the
"squadron" aspect. And, as such, I didn't think it would offend a "real
Spitfire" pilot. Also, I thought it would be easy to embroider and recreate
in other ways. If someone comes up with a totally original idea that works,
that's fine (by the way, the car/plane image is also from an ad so I guess
the same copyright concerns would apply), but I still like the Camospit. If
there's someone out there who would like to incorporate it into an emblem,
please do. It is beyond my humble graphic talents.
