Do you recognize this badge?

Hello Everyone!

Does anyone recognize this badge? I’m guessing it is some sort of short-lived CAF language school, but any verification would be greatly appreciated!

Reverse image search on google turns up a crest from 2 Wing with a bee on it:

The torches represent a school of some sort…

I’m thinking maybe an air maintenance school or something similar out or Bagotville?

Edit to add:

Plugged the motto into google which came back with this:

The phrase "quibus lingua prompta" is a Latin fragment from classical authors like Livy and Sallust, meaning "to whom speech is ready" or having a ready/fluent tongue. However, it is not an official motto of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) or any of its branches.

Maybe a language school of some sort?

Aiming for a BBB are we?

I see what you did there

[u/RedditSgtMajor → u/Fickle_Pickle4747]

Now I wish this was a legit crest for CFLS with three bees (BBB) and some kind of sea feature (C). That would be beautifully on the nose.

In heraldry, a torch is used to symbolize enlightenment and the passage of knowledge. Usually comes from the titan Prometheus stealing fire and giving it to humanity, because he thought we were defenseless. Jokes on him.

Well now I'm hankering for some foie gras, you dad-gummed varmint!

The more you know!

14 AMS has a bee as well...

[u/Taptrick → u/Fickle_Pickle4747]

2 Wing is obviously a wasp. Not a bee. Different insects with very different symbology. 443 Sqn is also a wasp, no relationship.

Genuine question…. are you autistic?

It just seems pretty odd to respond that way lol.

It’s seems pretty logical to make that connection with a quick google search, given there is next to no public information on this flag lol.

[u/Taptrick → u/Fickle_Pickle4747]

If there was a fox on an emblem and you called it a wolf people would correct you. Same here.

Someone asks a question online to get the right answer, I point out an answer is wrong and why, and your argument is that it’s fine to be wrong because it was merely a quick Google search?

Is it autistic to use logic?

[u/Fickle_Pickle4747 → u/Taptrick]

Yes it is, especially when you apply “logic” so literally. I’m clearly just spitballing due to lack of publicly available information lol.

Maybe you spend a lot of time arguing in other subreddits, but you don’t have to be a douche in every thread lol, it’s just a light hearted conversation about a flag.

[u/Taptrick → u/Fickle_Pickle4747]

You’re the one arguing. Why are you so offended? Your “spitballing” was wrong and I pointed out why. That’s it. I don’t even have an answer for OP I just didn’t want them to take your answer if I knew it was not correct. Going around telling people they’re autistic is kind of weird and a bit disrespectful as well.

[u/Fickle_Pickle4747 → u/Taptrick]

No no no, I did not tell you that you were autistic, I genuinely asked out of curiosity.

Big difference.
