RAF Squadron Crests

Does anybody know a good resource for these? I'm looking for an old crest for 237 OCU, the only version I can find reflects its role as the Buccaneer OCU, but presumably it had a badge in it's earlier incarnations?

Andy, have you seen the OCU page on the unoffical RAF organization site: http://www.rafweb.org/OCUs2.htm

Yes. It's a very useful site, but only has the badge from the Buccaneer era. I'm researching for some "what if ..." TSR.2 era paints, and it is most likely that 237 would have been the OCU; but obviously it could not have used the badge in this format, hence my search for earlier versions. Thankd for the suggestion though.

Thats' the later crest after 237 was reformed at Honington to be the Buccaneer OCU;
best fit for Andy would be when 237 was Canberra (Photo-recce) OCU at Wyton @ 1956

As we are talking fictional.. why not use 540 Sqn badge; it was disbanded as an operational Canberra (PR)
Sqn at Wyton in 1956; same time as 231 OCU 'C' squadron was split to become 237 at Wyton.

SC, that is the one I'm talking about, based on the Buccaneer. This one has me stumped, think this calls for some creative thinking, combined with Pete's suggestion about the shadow squadrons.
