The Air Training Corps (ATC) is a British volunteer youth organisation; aligned to, and fostering the knowledge and learning of military values, primarily focusing on military aviation. Part of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets (RAFAC), the ATC is sponsored by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the wider Ministry of Defence (MoD). The majority of Air Training Corps staff are volunteers, though some staff are paid for full-time work; including Commandant Air Cadets, who is a Royal Air Force officer as part of a Full Term Reserve Service commitment. This pattern of cap was worn by both men and boys of the ATC. The pattern is identical to the RAF cap, as is the material which is blue-grey serge wool. The cap features an ATC cap badge as well as ATC buttons to the front. The interior of the cap is lined in cotton drill and the original maker's stamp is still present. The cap is in good condition with a couple of moth nips which are illustrated in the images. The cap is approximately size UK 6. The price includes UK delivery. 22441:8. (Soft Headgear Box 1)
