Would suggest centralised MOD procurement.
But MOD was in their own pull-down menu.

If the images published here were higher resolution I would just ask Cranwell Graphics to print a load of the sqnâs of my Wing.

That said, the text alert yâday was OK.

It is bigger than I thoughtâŚâŚâŚ not sure on where in the Sqn Iâm going to put it 
On the wall above the urinals?

Got our portrait up, staring out of our front door. It was that or above my desk and I didnât fancy Charlie judging me from on high so out in the corridor he went.
anyone else not received the portrait yet. our unit ordered early on in mid feb, got the order confirmation and itâs still not yet been shipped. Have chased via the email address on website and not yet heard anything.

The delivery occured yesterday of our Sqn-issue portrait of King Charles (by courier, 1930hrs SaturdayâŚas might nowadays be (un)expected).
No pre-warn emails or texts, but at least it has arrived.
It is (as others have already mentioned) a massive overall package, and a large heavy very high quality framed photographic portrait of HM wearing the uniform of Admiral of the Fleet.
My eyes were immediately drawn to what I initially thought was a design error regarding the small embossed/printed gilt Royal Cypher thatâs above the picture, on the internal perimeter framing card.
I actually knew about this ages ago, regarding the Kingâs cyphers, but Iâd entirely-forgotten about it until now (plus: this is the first time Iâve seen this visually as a design, rather than just a verbal description).
I take it that because weâre a squadron in Scotland, our issued coronation portrait of HMTK has the version of his Royal Cypher that looks like this
For those of you who havenât seen this version before, youâll immediately feel it looks familiar, which it does, but maybe for the wrong reasons (the crown looks very-similar to the Queenâs EIIR cypher, but is really the Crown of ScotlandâŚwhich, as many people never noticed, was actually used in Scotland by HM Queen Elizabeth II throughout her entire reign)
âŚand presumably for squadrons in England & Wales, they will receive portraits printed with the version of the Cypher which is becoming a lot more familiar in the media (and I take it also on buildings etc down south? I have been to England a few times since The King ascended to the throne, but canât remember having seen it âin the fleshâ)
(I canât work-out what version of the CIIIR Royal Cypher might appear on portraits issued to NI squadrons, because although theyâre in our Region, ie S&NI, I suppose constitutionally (and heraldically?) they might be treated as per England & WalesâŚdespite being very Scottish in lots of ways)
And Iâve just realised: might it be that for some reason the entire production line of all these issued Royal Portraits UK-wide will be marked with the Scottish version of the Kingâs Cypher??? Thatâs unlikely, but possible.
So come along please, any England / Wales / NIreland based ATC squadron or CCF(RAF) contingent, of the RAFACâŚwhich version of the Kingâs cypher is on your new-issue Royal portrait?

Iâll have a look later, Iâm taking advantage of the long weekend, for some reason one with no cadet activities, to actually sit in the office and do some OC stuff
(Rather than run around fixing things, filing holes in training programme and generally herding cats)
