RAF Heraldry Trust

The RAF Heraldry Trust aims to catalogue the heraldic badges for every RAF unit (squadrons, stations, regiments, etc.) both past and present. The collection will be housed as a permanent record in College Hall Library, RAF Cranwell, where it may be consulted by interested individuals and organisations, for both educational and research purposes. It can also be viewed at the Trust website www.rafht.co.uk. The RAFHT’s aim is to preserve the heritage of the RAF which is otherwise in danger of being lost as the members of older squadrons pass away and the risk that their badges are forgotten or lost. The badges are repainted by our heraldic artist on to goatskin parchment paper using 23.75 carat gold leaf and gouache paints which have an excellent resistance to fading. SPONSOR A BADGE! Each badge entry in the collection records the badge’s details, including a dedication specified by each sponsor. You may decide to sponsor a badge for a unit with which you, a relative or a friend had a direct connection. You may decide to join with a group of ex-RAF colleagues to sponsor a badge together.
