I hope you haven't taken offense to the banter, as ex Army I do love to rib the RAF.
It's really interesting to see the thought process into a badge, many thanks for that.
I must have a look at this unit, one I've not really come across, What personnel are in the unit, What is its break down please?
Cheers

Hi Chris
Not at all - good banter is healthy
The unit is Space Command for UK Forces - it is Tri-Service but an RAF lead (a bit like JHC is for the Army). However, there are personnel outside of just Space Command that can qualify for the badge. We have personnel at RAF Fylingdales, Buckley AFB and Vandenburg AFB that are in posts that also qualify for the badge.
The UK Space Ops’ Badge replaces the one worn by our troops from the USAF. Here is a link to a previous award:
