We some very kind responses when we had a big shortage of brassards, but now (same for numerous other sqns in our wg), there is an “inability” to provide beret badges.
We are hoping to get ouir new intake of 30 ready for Remembrance Day parade, but we need 30 beret badges!
If anyone has any spare that they don’t need (or we could re-supply when our order finally arrives), that would be very much appreciated.
I’ve got loads but they won’t be any use to you…
Bar steward!!! 
I was going to make exactly the same comment! We’ve got RAF beret badges overflowing from our stores.
Another bar steward!! 
And good luck if you get the newest ones which are super shiny and really really don’t fit
The ones last year were a struggle to fit, these ones are just horrific
We had to get extra holes put into the berets to allow the badges to be fitted
We’ve been debating doing that we’ve had so many issues. What did you end up using to create the holes. The only reason we haven’t at the moment we were worried about the holes becoming too big.
most did it themselves at home
If they rip and get too big then will have to get new berets - life is too short - more worried about the increase in youngsters who have no control over their bodies.
Marching looks more like a scene from the Walking Dead at the moment
I’m sure there’s a ‘Sir’ at the end of that 
Aren’t the two interchangeable?
Well, I called AOC 22 Gp by his first name, so guess what……
Woo hoo, apparently our Wg finally has beret badges in stock! 
No one likes a show off 
One of those brags which shouldn’t be a brag but should be the norm.
There was an Astra idea to resolve the issue with supply and quality of AT capbadges by replacing them with the RAF one. This would also have the added bonuses of commonality across ATC and CCF(RAF) and potential cost savings.
Apparently, it’s been rejected. Does anyone have any insight?
Perhaps because the ATC should wear its own badge?
Personally I really dislike the erasure of the ATC which the RAFAC rebranding has caused. Such as when units renamed their Facebook pages XXXX Sqn RAFAC, or when my old unit got its RBL affiliation certificate between Anytown RBL and YYYY Sqn RAFAC.
If the badges weren’t so poor, we wouldn’t go through them as quickly and we wouldn’t have a shortage.
Well, we have had 2 large intakes since beret badges became unavailable - we need 50+ 
That includes a small number (5 or so) whose (sub-standard) badges have broken.
But then surely any beret badges should be spread across your Wing, as every squadron will be in a similar predicament 
Filling your requirement may put other squadrons at risk of not meeting their requirements.
Forgive me if this sounds silly but is something we could 3D print?
It’s not like they are a large complex item.
We shouldn’t have to but it could be a work around.
