Sqn Banner with Sqn Badge

It ain’t the badge guy’s call. He can approve a badge, but the question is whether that badge can be used in place of the ATC badge on a banner. A suggestion that it can seems to be an invention of D P-H and her team.

Personally, I’d run it past the Drill WO or CRAFACWO as ceremonial people. I don’t know who owns the ACP but most of that manual has nothing to do with flags on sticks so that might not be entirely relevant.

Or since the regulations are unclear interpret them the way you want to and stand tall in defiance of all who question you.

Daws, you could be a lawyer.

Rules are rules. But loopholes, are loopholes…

Think I saw on Twitter RWO LASER was talking about Sqn Badges and their use. Maybe worth touching base with him

I’m not sure you did. I’ve just looked at his tweets for the last year and can’t see anything. Sure it was him?

Edit: ignore me, he replied to the tweet generated by ACC with the link to this thread :rofl:

I find it amazing that you managed to knock up a spoof squadron badge, in probably very little time, and it’s still more in line with the way they should be produced than the vast majority of those in the ATC.

Why doesn’t the Facebook Page still do that? It hasn’t posted since August?

Pass. Ask @DJRice

Yeah, there’s been an auth issue, it’s on my list of jobs to do.

The server move got in the way!

Should be fixed now - it won’t post the missing ones, but anything new from now should pop up!

You did that with photoshop? I think last time I made one I opted for illustrator. Couldn’t bend the text right otherwise.

Not got either any more - just stuck with GIMP and Inkscape. Free software ftw!

Yeah YouTube is your friend when you want to learn something :blush:

388 have one:

Isn’t that the wrong colour blue for sqn banners? Thoucght it was a similar colour to Wedgwood blue shirts.

It’s the colour they produce them in now

Have recently got a quote from N&N. They offer both. The lighter “RAF Blue” is correct

I reckon that 388’s there actually is the lighter blue - it’s just been photographed in shadow.
The “other” blue tends to be far more glaringly and vomit-inducingly hideous.

I really don’t like the straight scroll :confused:

You won’t be allowed to adopt a disbanded units badge unfortunately
