Odd RAF Button
Does anyone have a positive ID for this plastic RAF button?
Its almost identical to the RAF Yacht Club but without the 'YC' lettering.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure this isn't related to any British unit, but can anyone help with an ID for this? Also the orientation? I think its yellow on black.

But is there any record of even 1st SAS wearing '1st SAS' titles in Egypt? Being such an 'unofficial' unit, would he have added it in his own colours to signify an affiliation?

I wonder if the fact it was in black and white rather than the usual maroon and pale blue, was to match his Signals titles? Perhaps worn directly underneath them?

This is the bandsman cap badge, as worn on their ceremonial uniform. Although the uniform dated from about 1923, the stores number on the card suggests later 1920s.
