I have been out of the picture for a while and am just catching up.

I have just dug out my Naval Ratings Handbook (1975) and your badge is shown as worn on the left cuff (Plate 2 Page 200).

Now, about ten years ago, I was at field textiles and I pulled a ratings class 1 jumper out of one of the bins which had the Parachutists badge on the shoulder, but I don't remember which one. the badge was a modern "tinsel" badge (lurex?) and the jumper was the type with the silk sewn in. Unfortunately, the jumper was in a sorry state, but I saved the badge.

If I can find the time, I will dig it out and upload an image.

Out of interest, my red Parachutists badge has the plastic backing.

Unfortunately, the period that these badges were worn is out of my period of interest, so I can add little else I'm afraid

For those that have been in contact, I will get back as soon as I can....
