Mostly modern looking cloth badges, not so sure of the originality on some I'm afraid.


The BD (EOD) badge is modern too.

Mike; I could be wrong, but I seem to recall seeing this badge on the sleeve of RAF aircrew radio operators in a number of WWII photos - or am I referring to a similar badge designed specifically for the RAF?
