Default RAF & SAAF badge collection

Hi All
Finally had a chance to put some of my RAF & SAAF badges into a display case. A bit crowded but I wanted to put as many as I could on display.
Cheers,
Alex

Very nice collection. What is the larger badge towards the lower left of frame with the red backing?

Hi Jack
Technically that isn't airforce, it's an 'Amphigarious' badge, worn by artillery officers of senior rank who were qualified in aerial spotting for the artillery.
Cheers,
Alex

Very very impressive.

What on earth is the (AA?) wreath & eagle, surmounted by the RAF monigram, and topped with a St Edward's crown?

Ferry Command perhaps (but somehow post-war?)

Or RAuxAF Police Auxiliaries?

I shall attempt to post a zoom-cut
