By the above invitation, happy to confirm that I have proposed utilising authorised badges on patches to scratch that collective itch for regional / wing identifiers, but it was agreed that we first need to make sure everyone understands what is and isn’t authorised before we open that door. It would need to be tightly controlled and so we first need to continue the good work bringing clarity to this area.
For now, I’m very happy that the “local” element of my proposal (unit ID under TRF, just as the parent service may use badges like “903 EAW” under the RAF TRF) has been accepted and run through a very formal and transparent process.
Without blowing his trumpet too much, @AlexCorbin has done a fab job here and it’s a privilege to be a part of it.
