ARMED FORCES AFFILIATIONS
Armed Forces affiliations include close relationships, honorary roles, and financial support, serving as expressions of gratitude and solidarity with the armed forces while recognizing their essential contributions to national defence.
As a demonstration of the Company’s enduring support for it’s Armed Forces affiliations, including the Cadets, the Master signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2024.
Royal Navy
There are two unit affiliations with the Royal Navy:
HMS VICTORIOUS at Faslane
814 Naval Air Squadron at Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose
Royal Logistic Corps
The affiliation with the Army can be traced back to the Royal Army Ordnance Corps which was merged in the the Royal Logistic Corps in 1992. Thus whilst the affiliation is with the whole Corps the focus is on Explosive Ordnance Disposal. This is predominantly with:
11 EOD and Search Regiment RLC at Vauxhall Barracks, Didcot
Defence Explosive Ordnance Disposal, Munitions and Search Training Regiment at MoD Kineton
Royal Air Force
The Company affiliations with the RAF cover the whole range of activities that the Service delivers from flying, through ceremonial to music. The current units linked to the Company are:
King’s Colour Squadron at RAF Northolt
RAF Music Services at RAF Northolt
101 Squadron who deliver air-to-air refuelling and are based at RAF Prize Norton
Cadets
Alongside our Regular affiliations we also support two Cadet units:
