As a tribute to Clowes and the No. 1 Squadron he flew for, his aircraft code is stamped at the 6H position along with a custom seconds hand counter-balance created in the form of his Hawker Hurricane. The squadron’s motto, In omnibus princeps (“First in all things”), is written at the bottom of the dial to reflect the squadron’s exclusive status as the RAF’s first unit.
