Default Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme

My latest addition. The TRF is not to be confused with the short lived Lancastrian & Cumberland Vols. TA This is smaller, has a silkier finish and is Red as opposed to a Cherry Red
regards
Bob

Hi Jerry.

They're my badges, you just saved me a job I have the first one as HM Customs, what was the source for it being AFPS, mate?

Cheers,

Phil

I am intrigued that Bob's version carries devices indicating a rank or seniority above my plain version! These dpm slides were to be worn on a loaned dpm combat smock while the visiting parliamentarians were conducting a visit to a unit, presumably to indicate some status and reason for being there?

Here are some pictures of the TRF, beret badge and stable belt in wear.

See http://af-ps.info/afps/

Hi Tim
I looked on the site and they did refer to a rank system once they had passed courses.

From the images it looks as though there are two TRFs, a yellow edged one and a black edged one.
