Once I have done my first solo flight at my civvy gliding club I will provide my OC with proof so he can send it to 2FTS and I get a C Wings badge. I just want to know how a C Wings badge looks like and if you have ever seen any issued. Also if you know then how long has the C Wings badge been around.
A few have been issued but not many. I believe it’s a fairly recent badge but I’m not sure. Someone else on here will know the correct answer!
It looks like this:

Where is the badge placed?
0418a. When a single badge is worn it is to be positioned centrally 1cm above the bottom edge of the patch of the left shoulder of the jersey BG. When worn with No 1 HD, it is to be positioned centrally 1cm above the top seam of the left hand pocket.
Thank you.
Does anyone happen to know how I can contact 2FTS? E-mail preferably.
There are many email addresses associated with 2FTS - who were you looking for?
Gp Capt John Middleton or anyone else who I can talk to about gliding.
I’m inclined to suggest you start at the other end of the org chart and work up:
2 FTS CGS Admin (E1) Mrs J Tillison

Thank you very much.
Just cut out the middle man and email him direct. He’s very approachable and has a bit of time on his hands for enquiries.

I’m a bit concerned about some of the answers saying it goes on the shoulder pad, or images showing it sewn parallel to the shoulder pad rather than the ground.
The first response I can see on that thread is correct. I think the person saying shoulder pad is confusing it with the PTS badges.
Posted. I nearly had to reset my Google password.
The image shows the wings ‘banking’ to one side, suggesting they have been lined up with the shoulder pad: rather than sewn so that they appear parallel to the ground (i.e. straight) when worn.
Oh I see. I thought that was just because the jumper was sagging on the hanger. Either way, I posted the correct description.
