Unknown AAA unit formation badge.
Hi All
I have 2 metal plates off a vehicle which I need to identify. One is a standard red over blue RA TRF with the number 164, the other is an all blue background with a RED, 6 spoke wheel with one of the diagonal spokes extending beyond the wheel forming an arrow. Any ideas ? Richard |

Although the unit serial 164 on RA plate was in use in WW2 (an unidentified AA Regt RA in an AA Gp in Second Army) the formation sign - 5 Army Group (AA) Royal Artillery (5 AGRA) -is post-War. Those, like myself, interested in the restoration and use of WW2 and other British military vehicles would very much appreciate an image of the actual plates. Mike

164 was a spare number in the AGRA(AA) sequence for Corps troops from 1959 onwards.

Picture attached.
I have found online that 5th AGRA was formed in 1943 and was part of XXX Corps ??. Richard |

This is the formation badge for 5th Army Group RA (Anti Aircraft) 1950-1962, BAOR, not the WW 2 AGRA.
