Strange. My first thought was Anderson.

[The Q]

I don't think it's RCAF,



and it's certainly Not RAF which only a small amount of red in it

Ask the poster, he's a member on this forum too.

The RCAF tartan is very much like Anderson for sure.

I don't see any tartan in that link.

Anderson



RCAF



One of the main differences I see is Anderson is often woven with a turquoise background, RCAF with an Air Force Blue background.

Oh and those twin yellow lines changed to red.

Looks as though it could be a muted variant of either tartan. The blue background appears to have been replaced with a grey.

I once commented on a forum that it seemed to me that the RCAF tartan was derived from the Anderson and was strongly slapped down by someone who claimed that he knew personally the chap who had designed the RCAF tartan and it was definitely designed from scratch. It seems unlikely, but who knows?

As Alan (neloon) points out (in his own way) tartan association can make an impact to those that have encountered it.

It seems that regimental tartans are always unique but bear a strong resemblance to the tartan of a founding member or a highly honored members clan.
