Battledress was replaced during 1963 and a philosophy of anonymity was imposed in the European theatre.

HQ 1 (BR) Corps ordered the removal of all TAC and Formation Signs from vehicles in early 1963 and divisional and other arm flashes were not sewn on to the Number 2 Dress and other uniforms that replaced the battledress.

Members of 19th Signal Regiment continued to wear the Red Beaufighter flash on their olive green uniforms as did 261 Signal Squadron in Cyprus, 222 Air Formation Signal Squadron in the Middle East and 81st Air Formation Signal Regiment (AER) who continued to wear battledress.

21st Signal Regiment re-introduced the Beaufighter as an arm badge on Combat Uniform in 1998, although now less colourful as a black beaufighter on a kahki background.
