Unit Badges |
| [Air Corps Main] |
The above badges ceased to be worn with the introduction of the 'blue' Air Corps uniform in 1994. It was planned to reintroduce them in a standard format. Unfortunately that idea just died away because units had no guidance on the matter.
The badge for Technical Training Squadron was worn until the 1st July 1980. TTS then became the Apprentice School, Training Wing.
Air Signals and 5 Maintenance are units that are attached to the Air Corps but they wear their own Corps collar badges.
No. 3 Support Wing was designed by Kieran Kelly (artist). The badge consists of wings (not sails) the green and blue background represents the support roll with the army and navy.

The Air Corps Apprentice Class introduced the title concept in during 1983. The title was worn above the Training Wing unit flash. Each class continued to wear a title up to the 57th. The 58th class in 1994 would have been issued with the blue uniform and badges were not worn on it.
