Question Squadron Photo Albums

Chaps/chapesses

Help wanted please. The studes on the country's Premier UAS are trying to source some large photo albums for the Sqn. The type that we are looking for might be described as the traditional squadron photo album. Hardbacked, usually of leather or a material covering onto which the Sqn badge can be embossed. Landscape format and usually bigger than A4 but not as big as A3 in size. Has anyone bought one for their Sqn recently or know of a source?

Thanks in advance.

". . . country's Premier UAS"

I didn't realise YUAS had moved to St Athan :-)

The country's premier UAS has a red dragon in its badge and a Welsh motto.

Very generous of you to help them, sir, but shouldn't you be looking after your own lot first?

Edit; aw, if only a minute earlier.....

Isn't Wales a principality rather than a country??

Not a personal recommendation, just did a Google Search.

Thanks for the links, I had found those from Google as well, but we are looking for something bigger than A4 sized. The ones I have seen in other crewrooms tend to be much thicker as well, about 4 - 5 inches deep.

The rest of you. Get over it. UWAS might be the premier UAS in the country - in Wales, but not in England (or Scotland)!! Wales is a pale imitation of the real thing, as any Yorkshireman will tell you! Often !!!

YUAS is, without any doubt, most certainly the best UAS.....


























...in Yorkshire.

But this young pretender is certainly not the premier English UAS. As anyone will know, that honour belongs to the University of London Air Squadron!

Hmm. It's just as well that modern psychotherapy can successfully address a wide range of conditions including massive delusions of grandeur. And it's never too late to seek help :-)

Im biased because im the staff cadet on the AEF based at Fenton, so id have to agree that YUAS is the best, however back to the topic i know of this website:

http://www.4x90.com/personalisedalbums.shtml

My uncle had a photo album from there embossed for his son in law using that website

A decent photo/camera/developers shop should sell decent albums

If you are looking for something bespoke, it'd be worth doing a trawl through yellow pages to find a local bookbinder. They should be able to make something up to your exact requirements.

Most RN Squadron Linebooks are along the lines that you're after and are generally donated by a sponsor like Rolls Royce or Marconi or the like. If you can think of a major PLC that the UAS (or University) is associated with, a letter from the CO could work. It might also be the start of a sponsored trophy or the like. If you already have a sponsor for , say, the aero's trophy, then write to them.

Best UAS??

Oxymoron. All UASs are full of tax dodgers.

Bet they can't afford these (!);
