ISTAR Air Wing Badge

ISTAR Air Wing Badges

This new badge comes in full colour or the subdued version. They can have "Engineering" adding after the "Air Wing" text if required. The badges are 8cm in diameter and can have Velcro adding to the rear if needed.

The coloured version consists of the top half of the golde with the Lincoln Flag bottom left and a scottish tartan design bottom right with a silhouette of a bird in the centre. The words "ISTAR Air Wing" arched above and "Royal Air Force" arched below. The subdued version has the same but subdued.

You can add the text "engineering" after Air Wing by using the "Add Text Above" option.

The Air Wing has been formed as part of the RAF Future Operating Model, a proposal that was set out by the Chief of the Air Staff to create the next generation Air Force.  The ISTAR Air Wing will comprise the flying Squadrons, Air Support Wing, Air Engineering Wing, Number 1 Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Wing and the ISTAR Operational Conversion Unit.

RAF Waddington will continue to operate as normal, with the base enabling the ISTAR Force and supporting the operational outputs of the Air and Space Warfare Centre, 8 Force Protection Wing and its various Reserve Units, whilst future projects include the implementation of Protector and integration of the Red Arrows.
