Default Unusual Para related badge

This was tucked away in a pile of badges. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it is. The half-wing could indicate air supply.

I have ruled out the "Kingsman" connection

Thanks

I wonder if it could some how be related to Digby Tatham-Warter, or the made up character in "A Bridge Too Far"?

What an hilarious story about the MPP and its founder. Normally you can't make this stuff up, but then again someone seems to have done just that.!

Many thanks indeed, this has made my day.
