Just a request for help, the RAF used to have AP1358 on their website but since the new website launch they appear to have disappeared. I note that in the drive section here are several chapters, but not this one, does any one have, are the able to upload to the drive able to send a copy.
Yours hopefully

Whats in Ch8?
The cadet version AP1358C only goes up to Chapter 7
Iâm pretty sure they know that.
Chapter 8 is âORDERS, DECORATIONS AND MEDALSâ, which is useful but goes into detail that is generally not necessary for us. We should probably have at least a minimal version in 'C
As posted above, Order Decorations & Medals, contains detailed guidance on methods of wear, mounting etc. it is a useful point of reference which I inadvertently forgot to save a copy of.
Resurrecting this, as I canât find it, and the ACP 1358 still refers to it.
WowâŚnow THATâS an eye-opener.
I have never seen miniature medals worn overlapped. Ever. And have frequently seen the overall brooch bar width exceed beyond the inside collar edge of the jacket.
AP1358 Chap 8
0858. Mounting. All miniature orders, decorations and medals to which the wearer is entitled, should be mounted together on a single medal
brooch in the manner prescribed for full size badges in Para 0832. The length of the miniature brooch will vary according to the number of
miniatures mounted but it is never to project beyond the inside edge or shoulder seam of the jacket. Ribands are to overlap if necessary and
badges may be mounted in âcourt styleâ, (see Para 0833).
Comments please. Iâm being 100% serious
I picked up on this too. Because there isnât a prescribed number at which the overlap begins, but it would be quite a bit higher than it is for full-size medals, I think people just forget.
