Air Training Corps and Combined Cadet Force
In the Air Training Corps, the rank system for officers is identical, but the highest rank is wing commander, with higher posts being held by regular RAF officers. Officers in the Air Training Corps are part of the RAFVR(T), and as such wear a small gold badge shaped as the letters VRT, with the T centrally below the VR. The same applies for the RAF section of the CCF.
