Default Army Air Corps ACF Staff Sgt Rak Slide

Another interesting addition to my ACF collection. A Staff Sgt rank slide on DPM for Army Air Corps ACF, unusual to see unit name in full rather than AAC also interesting to see light blue lettering. Only a handful of ACF units affiliated to AAC

We used to have a Wiltshire ACF AAC Detachment which went some time ago. One of the new CCF's at Westbury School in Wiltshire are badged to AAC but I don't know what they wear rank slide wise,

Obviously cadet branch only produce and pay for the standard ACF Rank Slide so anything else is private purchase at County or Detachment level often funded by the adult instructors. We used to have very nice Rifle Green Rank Slides until a previous Commandant decided he did not like them. A detachment up the road pay for their own totally unoffical RTR Tank Slides.

It's on DPM so it's not current.

No Westbury ACF Detachment is still RTR. The Wiltshire ACF Detachment badged to AAC closed down about 6 or 7 years ago. Westbury Secondary School which started a CCF about 4 years ago is badged to AAC.
