'Viking805' of BATC 2/67 designed the cloth badge seen below - starting late January 1967 at HMAS Cerberus (across the bay from Point Cook) Basic Aircrew Training Course Number 2 in 1967, was split into 2 parts A & B. The logo is from a cartoon crow from the 'Ettamoggah Pub' series, it should have read “Crikey Mate!” Part A was the front of the alphabet and they went to No. 66 Pilot course - only one RAN FAA pilot graduated (Dick Scott I'm looking at you).
The first half of BATC 2/67 were spared the sea time but the second half from the alphabet ladder had a good holiday touring the south Pacific waiting for No.67 course to commence. :-)
BATC 1/67 had started a few weeks earlier and very quickly they went to No.65 pilot course, where most graduated as I recall (memory hazy because not me chief).
