I got my hands on a No1 Jacket with no badges on and can’t find reference in the regs to the position of the Eagle badge - does anyone have any advice or guidance on this?
Feel free to point me in the right direction if I’m being dense and simply haven’t spotted it.
Are you sure you’ve got the right pattern of no 1 jacket? If it’s an old one that is for non commissioned then it won’t have the badges on. If it’s an officer jacket it won’t have them either. The latest pattern jackets come with them pre attached. They are central about 2.5 cm from the top seam.
I might be lighting a fuse here but see below extract from v1.07
WO and SNCO (ATC) can wear a part worn No 1 uniform (must be of the current design pattern). FS & Sgt(ATC) will retain the eagle shoulder badge whilst WO(ATC) are to remove the eagle shoulder badge in line with the badging policy for RWO/WWOs. Trousers must match the jacket colour tone. These are not issue items and are not to be demanded through the RAF.
I was always told it was an albatross when I went through Halton. Then again we were told the beastings we got by the Reg and PTIs were good for us so i don’t know what to believe
