Tactical Communications Wing RAF
Tactical Communications Wing (TCW) provides communications facilities to deployed units of the Royal Air Force.
TCW personnel and their 90 Signals Unit counterparts were, due to their deployable nature, within a discrete portion of the RAF that were authorised to wear a DPM uniform full time. This authorisation was rescinded in October 2008 when it was declared that all RAF personnel were to wear the standard blue uniform unless on operations.
Until the amalgamation with 90 Signals Unit in 2006, TCW personnel could be distinguished by both their rank slides, embroided with the letters 'TCW' and the Wing badge (the rock dove with lightning bolt). Upon amalgamation, the latter was replaced with that of 90 Signals Unit.
TCW is currently a lodger unit at RAF Leeming in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
TCW's motto is "Ubique Loquimur" which translates to "We Speak Everywhere".

Famous quotes containing the word wing:
“He is outside of everything, and alien everywhere. He is an aesthetic solitary. His beautiful, light imagination is the wing that on the autumn evening just brushes the dusky window.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
