I need to get a second beret so is it best to go with the Tudor crown now?
IBN for flying badges states wear of Tudor crown is allowed for flying badges from the 6th.
But St Edwards crown is now more ally. Especially if it’s being phased out.

There is that. I have my issues badge but it’s the clip on type. And I want a nice small crown lined beret so I’ll need to buy a badge either way
If you’re CFC, you can now get ahead of the curve: This is an excellent quality RAF Royal Air Force Old Style Tudor Crown Beret Badge

From the IBN;
** 48 ATC CCF and 2 Banner bearer cadets are set to take part in the Coronation Parade of Majesty King Charles III*
** FS Zidour-Khan of 34 (Balham and Tooting) Sqn is carrying the ATC banner in the Coronation ceremony this weekend. She and the rest of the banner bearers will be led by a marching band contingent containing several CCF RAF musicians.*
** CWO Tyson-Lee of 1454 (Harrow) Sqn is the Standard Bearer for the United Kingdom in the Coronation Ceremony this weekend. He is set to stand alongside the Prime Minister*
There will be 48 bitterly disappointed cadets at RAF Wittering tomorrow, when they turn up and find out the ATC banner bearer has already been picked. They were told in their invitation email that there would be a quick banner competition Friday afternoon and the winner would have the honour of parading with it.
The email was obviously written by someone who didn’t think that multiple rehearsals over a week would be necessary!!!

As these cadets are taking part in the parade they should be recipients of the Coronation medal and for them not to do so would be grossly unfair despite what Cranditz may think.

We don’t truely know what the conditions are yet, or if there even is a medal! So it’s hard to say… plus that’s one for the other thread about the medal!

What about cadets from far flung counties where no big events are ever held? What chance does a cadet from Cornwall/Suffolk/Cumbria/Durham/Northumberland/Devon ever have of winning the Dacre sword?
the 2022 Winner of the Sword was from Norfolk Wing

Great interview and great example for the corps.
I guess that’s the Dacre sword decided upon for this year.
4 Hours of shoe cleaning ahead for him!
