After the war a new rate structure was established for RN FAA ratings in 1948-49 & all FAA ratings were reclassified for the post war navy. This brought about a whole new set of FAA rate designations & badges.
Some Canadian FAA ratings were affected by this changeover, & thus may have worn the new rate badges for a brief period. The RCN was also at this time fame undergoing a major reorganization & insignia change as well.
Now we find the new rates of Aircraft Handler, Safety Equipment technician, & Meteorologist.
A few of these are illustrated below.
