WRAC AT
I used to work in an office with about 3 or 4 ATOs in the 90'/00's.
I asked about WRAC ATs and ATOs and was told "there's about half a dozen". One of the more mischievious added "it makes it more interesting picking up the pieces after an incident" (they had a rather outrageous sense of humour - one once made a remote control banger out of a fart machine one of the grads brought in).
There was definitely a WRAC AT badge in the frame of AE, AT and ATO badges in the mess bar at Kineton School. There was also a book with photos of every ATOs course, so I presume the same thing exists for AT's. Bear in mind said photos were very sensitive as some operators had a price put on their heads by the Provos, so photos weren't encouraged.
I've also been told that at least one AT wore a "camouflage AT badge" of green on beech brown during an OP TELIC/HERRICK (Iraq/Afghan tour) that he'd "found in stores".
