Here is the extract from AP1919, Third Edition, June 1951(Regulations for the Air Training Corps) amended to AL4 June 1956. At that time Adult WOs wore ATC Cap badge, buttons and rank badges (eagle in wreath). This changed in 1958 when the badges were changed to standard WO versions we see today (Cap badge, ATC collars and single QC Crown). The only RAF badge that could be worn was the full Royal Arms for those previously serving as a WO I. No other versions of WO badges was allowed. (WO II, CQMS etc.)
