Yep, I found it earlier. I was right that the size of the A in Air has to be empty space around the logo.
But no reference to the ATC badge or roundel

Taken from the RAF Guide - looks like youâre actually OK (âat least a quarterâ) , although maybe add the white border so it frames it against the page border?
In reality, youâre unlikely to encounter an issue, but Iâd recommend a âbest effortâ to show youâve tried to conform?
Regarding the badge⌠Itâs our identify and youâre trying to show off the organisation and the brand. I canât find it written specifically, but itâs a heraldic emblem and I suspect would be considered to need to be âtreated with respectâ.
The RAF Guide (referencing the RAF and Sqn emblems), states âshould not be altered or cut up in any wayâ - I would apply that to ours too, although I know an image search does show up a few variations
out of curiosity, where did you find the RAF Guide?
Edit, found it on the Defence Brand Portal
But yes, if thatâs policy we should follow them.
I have found it on sharepoint recently, but donât seem to have saved a copy.
from the RAF Guidelines with regard to RAF Badges.
You should never use the Royal Air Force badge alone on a communication or instead of the Royal Air Force logo.
Official Royal Air Force badges should be used subordinate to the Royal Air Force logo within Royal Air Force communications.
Sorry for the resurrection. But I notice the sponsored posts on Facebook for army cadet CFAVâs again.
There was a rumour about the RAFAC doing a national staff and cadet campaign⌠anyone know about this?
Is anything going to materialise soon now that we are all getting back and need both staff and cadets?
I noticed them recruiting via FB marketplace today too. Itâs almost like the sponsored ads arenât enough - and then I saw the typos and realised they shouldâve stuck with the sponsored ads!!!
But no, not seen/heard anything beyond rumour about national recruitment.
I thought it got scrubbed cause of ÂŁÂŁÂŁ
That would be a shame.
Itâs been needed for close to a decade but now more than ever
By pure luck, was chatting to an indirect work colleague last night - in the next couple of months, he will be moving to my âbiggerâ company. Until he took up the employment, I think he was linked to a sqn as an ex-cadet but they were trying to persuade him to come back - in uniform. Not feasible with his work schedule.
The move across will give him a much work roster, so I have (hopefully) persuaded him to approach Norfolk Wg to join as a CI - I donât think that they will turn him down (pilots are always invaluable ) - he also has a BLA ticket.
Interesting thread and some good ideas. We would definitely have more staff if it wasnât for the really drawn out form filling process. Youâve got to be quite determined to join, which I suppose is not a bad thing.
Iâve found that people donât mind some form filling and a dayâs training, but not being allowed on Sqn until they have DBS (6+ weeks) then not being allowed off Sqn for 6 monthsâ probation does ruin most new staffâs enthusiasm. I think both of these are unecessary restrictions and could be done much better.
Iâd suggest submit DBS, then must be supervised at all times, like a visitor, until itâs received. Probation should start from DBS submission and encourage participation in events on and off Sqn, but with appropriate support and supervision.
The better courses on Ultilearn and a replacement for Ultilearn that actually works properly are good progress.
Or⌠wait for it⌠heres a thoughtâŚ
ELECTRONIC DBS.
Returned in under 48 hours.
Definitely, electronic DBS would be fast enough that staying away from the Sqn until it arrives wouldnât be an issue. Probation is still too long and too restrictive though.
All agreed.
Our recruitment process and tools for both staff and cadet is a cross between Medieval and post apocalyptic failure.
If your lucky, electronic DBS will not speed up the police check parts so if any of the constabularies involved have big backlogs or are just slow then that part will still take the same amount of time. What will be saved is the passing through the chain and then the few days sat on the desk of someone at Cheadle Hulme to be loaded onto the system and started
The latest for an over 18 cadet took 6 weeks for them even look at it to be told its incorrect
