Air Training Corps References

[RCAF_Mike]

Are there any good references out there for badges of the Air Training Corps?

Thanks!

The author and owner of the album was a forum member who passed away very recently.

Thanks!

There was a booklet published in conjunction with the ATC a couple of years ago, but I cannot find the authors name nor the photo of the cover. However, it was only handed out to squadron Commanders, and Air Cadet HQ etc, and so far I have been unable to get hold of a copy myself. I am told it is to be reprinted but I've not heard any other details.

If you need help, I have all wartime issue badges, and many of the post war or photos of.

Finally found the reference I was looking for. It was a small book/booklet by Roy Bonsor, but as mentioned, I believe it was published in partnership with the ATC or HQ Air Cadets, and aside from a few copies that were given to friends, they were I believe only handed to Squadrons. So far I've not seen one.

Dear Padre,

The book by the late Roy Bonsor was indeed published by the MEDIA department of HQAC at RAF Cranwell, I was lucky enough to obtain a copy through Roy from HQAC. I used to visit Roy and his wife Sylvia beforehe passed away, I believe he donated his collection to HQAC.

Regards

Malcolm.
