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 :joy:

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.

I think the official Wing badge uses Jaged lines rather than the more accurate wavy but heyho

Indeed, still worn by many.

Rather than open a can of worms publicly, I’d be very happy to have a video call with you to explain the nuance here, if you’re interested.
