Barbados used a logo of the Regional Security System, by international
agreement for the eastern Caribbean countries whose base is located at Grantley
Adams Airport, Barbados. The seven axles represented the seven members.

The BDF has not had aircraft since 1985. The coast guard does and has an
emblem like

According to Album 2000 [pay00]
Aircraft Marking. - It's roundel maybe described best by
blazoning (though it is not a Coat of Arms) - "Or a Hurt
and a Chief Azure". The shades are of the national flag.

Why this design? I would think that a yellow disc with a blue
border and a black trident would be more obvious.

Both Military Aircraft Insignia of the World [c2e98] and & www.skytamer.com
&
reports only the use of the national flag as a fin flash.

Encyclopaedia Universalis Yearbook lists for 1995 a
contingent of 610 men (82% Army and 18% Navy). Therefore, there
does not seem to be a separate Air Force in Barbados.

Seems that not entirely correct. According to & www.scramble.nl & ,
Barbados is the base of the planes of Organization of Eastern
Caribbean States - Regional Security System Air Wing. However,
according to photos, the planes have no marking beside
registration numbers.

Oddly enough, Roy Braybrook [byb85]
show the same roundel reported by Album 2000 (while in [whe86], which was published only a
year afterwards, there is no entry for Barbados and [c2e98] report other marking).
