Hello Folks
Would someone be able to point me at a list of known RAF enamel lapel badges,both King and Queens crown preferably ? (should such a beastie exist)


I'm specifically trying to find out if 21 Maintenance unit ever had a badge produced

Hi Magu

I’ve checked with an American friend who collects RAF squadron/station sweetheart brooches/badges, he has checked his collection and doesn’t have one from 21 Maintenance Unit. He does have the following MUs: 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 19, 20, 23, 25, 27, 32, 33, 35, 60, 61, 71, 128, and 431, so believes it likely that 21 MU had one made.

All the best

Graham

Thank you for the info Graham

21 MU was the unit at Fauld during WW2 when the explosion happened and if i remember correctly they were still in existence up to the 1960's

Try contacting the RAF Heraldry Trust:
"Our aim is to catalogue and preserve the heraldic badges of all RAF units past and present."

When a badge is 'sponsored' a photo goes on the site but it also gives a list of 'unsponsored' units and this includes 21 Maintenance Unit (so they definitely had a badge).
