I didn’t think there were any approved wing badges?
There are.
HIOW for example is all legit
Sorry, bad terminology on my part there. I know there are nine or so wings with approved badges, but didn’t think there were any heraldic badges approved for wear on No. 3 SD yet (and the work to get that approval would start with regions)?
For daily and regular wear that is correct. RM seems to have circumvented that process for the acromatis
None take precedence over another. All approved by AC Mgt board. All equally correct
Agreed, million times over.
Our ACPs are a mess. Be should have either policy documents or enabling documents.
Policy, this is our rules, enabling, this is how to organise, authorise and run an activity.
Enabling documents should not hold policy.
The only thing the ACRoMaTi should say about uniform is “Uniform should be worn in accordance with ACP1358 for CFAVs and cadets and service instructors should follow their parent service instructions”.

So if I can get the wearing to thermal smocks as an external layer into ACP 18 it’ll be ok in the range?
UBACS can be allowed via ACP 16
Just try it.
I can physically kick you in the shins

Wearing MTP softshell jackets as an outer layer is already a thing in UKSC.

I’ve seen them on a few photos and clips now, Stratcom and people looking after horses!
Are you thinking of the GMW TRF style badge?
I’m not sure, but I didn’t think any were authorised for wear (outside of this RM exception discussed earlier).

It was always recognised as unsactioned but tolerated in north region, purely so we could tell who to avoid on big GM ran camps.
@TheDon are these still issued/worn?
I never understood the point of recognition flashes in subdued colour schemes…
Similarly, the full heraldic badges will all look the same at any kind of distance. Ideally, we’d just take distinctive elements from the centrepiece — and colour may well be part of that distinction — but, apparently, the inspectorate has said it’s the full badge or nothing.
Yeah but a full colour Bee doesn’t look quite as tacticool 
It’s be pretty easy to design each wing in England Wales and NI wing a full colour flash, but Scotlands wings aren’t based of anything historical nor are they reasonably numbered 1sw 2sw etc (although 4 uniforms on a patch would be ally
Surely we Don’t need their permission to use Roses, birds, swords, and dragons for a Formation patch
I wouldn’t exactly call the RAF Flash Heraldry, nor the RAFAC (and if they do, why the hell have they approved RAF AIR CADETS scrawled along it)
Two good examples where not putting the full badge on a patch works, along with most (if not all?) TRFs.

My old wing is rather easy.

edit:
I think the official Wing badge uses Jaged lines rather than the more accurate wavy but heyho
Indeed, still worn by many.
