The majority of RAFVR(T) personnel are now transferred to a new grouping: RAF Air Cadets (RAFAC).
Officers and non-commissioned personnel wear the same rank badges but the officers gilt VRT and the NCOs and WOs gilt ATC have both been replaced by RAFAC in gilt for No1 and No5 uniforms and by embroidered: RAF Air Cadets below the rank identity on most other uniforms.
It's all part of the new Cadet Forces Commission and the greater alignment between officers and non commissioned personnel.
Whilst not questioning the need for a cadet forces commission, the administration of the whole process has been a classic example of a complete cock up. Most personnel might have received the bare minimum of rank badges to the new style but the gilt pins are nowhere to be seen. The implementation of the change over was oft delayed with an excuse that this is the first new commission for a hundred years which shows just how little the authorities know about RAF history and their ignorance of the other new commissions introduced.
