Hello GTB
I do agree that the buttons are rather uninspiring! When you see some of the designs that the army regiments used for their mess waiter's buttons this hardly compares - a simple 'RAF' didn't require much imagination or thought did it!
Did they not even think of confusion between them and the old Royal Aircraft Factory, although by the time these buttons were introduced it had become the Royal Aircraft Establishment, so I suppose it wasn't an issue.
