Adding some bling to uniforms

It looks like it’s taken at CTC Frimley Park

Saw an interesting rank slide today on LinkedIn.

A lot of foreign air forces have the light blue of the dual-tone bands a bit thicker and bolder and the removal of the default background of composite braid (which leaves everyone thinking the dark purple-blue lines are also part of the badge of rank) so it matches the rank slide background does look better imo. How it used to be.

Not sure if this is legit, but it’s clearly been made that way by a supplier.

Actually, I’m 100% sure it’s CTC Frimley Park having spent a week there recently.

Yep, I would agree, carpark and dining hall just out of shot on the left

I know this chap. Him and his wife (both are serving RAF officers) have set up their own badge company. They are also SIs (hence how I met them on a RAFAC course). They make various unit/squadrons/event badges that cadets tend to buy and put on their bags etc. They then also created officer rank badges without the dark grey/blue between the braids, and wear them to advertise their creations.

I had my no. 1s resewn with separate rank braid not composite - which was the old way - and it looks much better. Not sure about that on green though!

I actually have a set of tropical rank tabs in the correct rank - but how do I add RAFAC to them?

There’s probably no rule for that. I’d be inclined to use the lapel badges like the old VR(T) would be worn.

That will probably horrify a few people but what’s the alternative?

[Rusty]

Are any of these relevant?

With a Sharpie?

RAFAC pins exist. If there’s a smaller version for No. 5s, they could work with rank braid.

Prefer the bottom set

Still got mine…and a set of embroidered VRT ones.

[Rusty]

Do you have a website or social page for the company?

Companies House was no help in my own stalk?

At least Dick Turpin wore a mask, make Green Frog look reasonable

Most of them are dress reg compliant anyways

I was looking more at the Zaps, who the hell is buying 10 identical zaps for £65?!

[WestlandScout]

Seems a bit pricey

I’d want a RAFAC version of the Velcro rank patch. @Horriblelittletechie made one up for me but then I got promoted

I think 10 X 13 is more its dimensions
so its a single ZAP…
