Thanks for the response. Does anyone know if it's possibly the RAF logo on a French helmet or if it stands for something else?

RAF insignia on Adrian Helmet

Hello guys

I was wondering if anyone knew this insignia.

I know it's RAF - but I found it on a French Adrian helmet. Does anyone know if it's also French?

Thanks in advance.
