Backbarrow bridge broke my Ocoee, the weir below it almost broke me!
After much frustration of trying to find out what happened before my colleague and I arrived (up to 18 months prior to our arrival, in fact) I’ve finally finished writing 2023’s annual report for the Charity Commission!

Just managed to sort out a cadet (not one of “mine”) who is at uni & wants to be an Eng O (despite my protestations! 
) - going to an operational base to job shadow a JEngO for a day or so. Couple of beers owed to one of my reasonably placed high up contacts.

Wasn’t Cab, was it? 
If only…
It was a very nice cadet that I met at Syerston - finishing off their Silver GS. Asked about their career aspirations & we went from there.

Newton Newton seem to be the default name so curious if that was your chosen route too?
Yep, them.

Stitched or printed?
Stitched/embroidered. Would recommend, very good quality.
Just be prepared to take out a mortgage first …
You get what you pay for.
You can get one from Cadet Direct for half the price, but it looks like a 6 year old has made it.
Yep, and they don’t do personalised as far as I know.

I assume they ensure the background of the emblem is white?
The picture on the front of the guide that was shared further up has the ATC emblem with a sky blue background…
They make whatever you ask them to, you send in your approved artwork and they send you a proof to check. So if you have an officially approved badge it should have a white background and they’ll make that.
MMH - and giving me warm fuzzy feels - seeing a Lynx Wildcat with it’s little winglets fully tooled up. It looks so mean!!!

Good to see a couple of cadets in the latest video on the RAF YouTube channel.
