RAF Physical Training Instructor - Help Needed
Hi All,
I'm trying to find out what badge (if any) an RAF PTI from the early 1950's would have worn, did they have a trade badge or any sort of distinctive marking? Thanks a lot, Michael |

A brass arm badge made up of a circle of 3 arms holding gym clubs on lugs. PTI to the centre.

The photo is dated 1941 but it shows the brass badge worn.
There is also a cloth version as attached Jon |

Thanks a lot everyone, my grandfather was one so that's another badge to add to the search list then.

KC PTI Patch
Hi Michael,
Here is another RAF PTI patch that was worn. I believe this (later) version may have been worn up to 1953. There is also a QC version with the same coloured background that was issued afterwards. Regards |

Yet another version
In 1972 the backing was changed from the blue/grey to a navy blue felt.

Excuse the sloppy presentation but herewith several variations on the post 1949 badge.

Thanks a lot everyone, looks like I will have to look at his record to check his service dates before I get one.
I'm fairly sure he was in between 1947 and about 1956 but I only really want one to display with an RAF cap badge really. Michael |
