Peter,
Just had a look at the MT badge, how annoying I missed it as I try and keep an eye on their new items, the hunt continues!
The crossed badge, only in cloth? Or is there a metal version?

Hi Peter,
Much appreciated. I saw what could be the lightning badge in a PP newsletter I was flicking through, it was a slightly angled view though on uniform, I'll try and dig it out.
