Gunner Trade Badge 2006

[AndyC_65]

New to the RN side of badges, so apologies for what might be a noddy question.

Putting a frame together for a mate of a mate as a surprise from the mate.

He was an Able Seaman on HMS Gloucester and was serving when they evacuated Beirut, just to put the request into a time context.

The only info I have is that he was a Gunner (warfare specialist?) and was usually stationed on for foc'sul (spelling?)

Can anyone point me in the direction of the trade badge he would have worn and where I can obtain them (in working pattern, red (still worn in 2006?) & bullion).

Many thanks in advance.

Probably the best bet is to contact B J Pullen through his Facebook page for RBJ Militaria - he has massive of amounts of RN badges and is very knowledgeable about who would have worn what and when.
