Default RAAF Warrant Officer query

Does anyone have a pic of a WW2 RAAF WO wearing his rank insignia (the royal arms) on a KD (tropical) shirt, or at least can describe how it was worn? Was it the standard blue-backed item or was there a khaki-backed tropical issue? Thanks for any information.

I have a bronzed metal version in my collection which I know was worn on the summer tunic, and a bronzed badge on a wristlet worn with short sleeves.

There was certainly a WW2 KD backed version of the patch.
This excellent website has a picture.

I haven't a photo of one in wear.

A nice site -- thanks for the link. That answers the question about a KD version.
