Black lanyard with '816 SQUADRON', a snarling tiger's head and 'FIGHTING TIGERS' printed in yellow running along the lanyard. The lanyard has a plastic clip at the back of the neck for easy removal. At the front of the lanyard a metal band has been wrapped around the two lanyard ends, forming a loop through which a metal swivel and clip have been threaded.
