Staying roughly to this thread, I picked this beret up at Chelmsford militaria fair several years ago now - RAPC attached to the Essex Regt. It's a Kangol beret, with bog standard anodised RAPC beret badge but with a beautiful 'pompadour' backing as per the Essex Regt.
Judging by the fading to the backing, served somewhere warm perhaps?
Purely for interest chaps.
Regards all
Bess
