RN Trade Patch
Hello Chaps, can anyone please identify this patch.
Crown above 3 blade prop would be P/O Stoker but the patch in question has the 4 blade prop as seen in use with the Air Fitter branch. Does not show up in a search of ratings trade patches. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance. Len.DSCF2098.jpg |

Hello Simon, appreciate your help. I was looking at WWII ratings not thinking it could be post war. Am I correct in assuming the crown on this patch does not indicate P/O rank?
Cheers. Len. |

Simon, a thought - for future reference is there an online or other publication that has illustrations of the post war RN rate patches.
Thanks. Len. |

The badge denotes the trade and not the rank but it would normally be a senior member and therefore probably a P.O.
