Some Parachute Regiment soldiers have qualified as RAF Parachute Jumping Instructors and wear the RAF brevet on their chest. The TRF with lightbulb is worn by RAF PJIs attached to 16 AABde (all RAF PJIs are PTIs, hence the pic with the cpl wearing a PTI top). RAF PJIs who serve/have served with an Army para-role unit wear the Parachute Badge With Wings on their right arm in perpetuity - the PJI brevet continues to be worn.

A correction: the PTI is Army per the insignia. RAF wear ranks and badges with blue facings. Sorry. But the same above applies.
