Para beret with Fusiliers hackle
I have these maroon berets, one with Parachute Regiment badge and one with blackened Fusiliers badge, both with Fusiliers hackle. I have found some pictures of 4 PARA with this beret. But I cannot see if they wear Para or RRF badge, may be RRF one on the third picture. What do you think about it ?

Looks like a job for Tyneside Irish - I think he may even be in one of those photos?
The RRF badge & hackle would be correct in the beret, I don't know though whether the badge would be of the currently available black finished "proper metal" type or only of the black painted anodised aluminium type. I would say that the RRF badge hasn't been fitted by a soldier as it appears to sit too low on the beret. |

Are they Para Regt sponsored ACF cadets?

I've never seen a para lid with hackle. A day without learning is a day wasted.

It's only correct when the wearer is a member of the RRF, wearing an RRF hackle and RRF badge, serving in an airborne role.
The hackle and para regt badge is not correct. |

One of the Btns of the RRF served in 5 Airborne Bde. Late 80`s early 90`s I think. You often see the yellow and red DZ patch for the RRF for sale.

Page 213 of the Airborne Insignia book briefly touches on this, a letter requesting the 10th Bn wear the Fusilier white hackle, however, it was never adopted.
