New Tornado Badge - A bit familiar?
Just had a look at the new Tornado GR force badge - looks similar to another well known force badge.

Its just to make all the ex Jag mates who only have a Tornado cockpit to look forward to (
) feel "at home"! And will the GR4 force get the specially modified RAF black tie as well ...?
It could be worse .... the force badge could have been
... which when read by a non-english speaker reads as "No one in NATO"!
Given to all individuals on completion of TTTE (but only ever worn by Germans, Italians and TTTE instructors if memory serves me right).

Is that for real?
And if so, does it mean the end of individual sqn badges? The jets are already pretty anonymous. Clearly, unit identity and cohesion has become anathema to the so-called 'leadership'
I know the RAF is run by the Jag mafia - but that really is taking the pi*s.
I know it's nothing in itself - absolute triv - but that would be just one more straw for the camel's back if I was forced to wear it.

1000Hrs tornado (=I should have had this many hours after my first tour not my third)
2000Hrs (=I'm PAS and I ain't gonna do any ****ty duties)

Apparently voted in by a narrow majority across the whole force. The Jag badge was designed to be 3 colour friendly - UK L-R RWB, Froggies BWR, Oman RWGreen, India ???, Ecuador ???. Wonder if the other operators of the land shark will adopt it with suitable colours? (Germany would be a challenge - black on black).
