Default Pathfinder Brooch?????

Hi

Can anyone identify the attached RAF brooch?

My friends Dad served in Coastal command, 78 bomber squadron and 156 Pathfinder squadron.
He found this brooch at his Mum's house recently.

many thanks

Dick

What are the dimensions and what type of fixing does it have on the back?

As it's silver I'll say, no, just an RAF sweetheart.

The badge is approximately 35-40mm (wing tip to wing tip). I can get exact measurements if you wish.
The back has two soft wire studs about 20-25mm in length soldered to the back.
