Default RNAS Armoured Car rating photo
RNAS Armoured Car rating. I know we have had some discussion here on the way the RNAS Armoured Car badge was worn (or to be worn) by RNAS ratings, this photo clearly illustrates the badge being worn as a pair on the lapels of the tunic.

His embroidered cap badge is fairly clear as well.

His rank badge(Petty Officer) is also shown on his left sleeve, its not all that clear but its definitely a PO rank badge.

Lovely photo.

The badge is definately the crossed anchors under a Kings Crown of a P.O. as you say

No rate badge on his right sleeve, & with no name unable to research or determine what his trade in the RNAS may have been.

Do you have any photographs that actually show members of armoured car companies wearing such badges on their right sleeves?
