I thought I had seen all the OWS ratings arm badges but I was recently told there was also a badge for Engineers (Fabrication of the subject item attached).
Does anyone have an example of this badge and can supply me with a picture of it?

RAF Equipment Lists for 1970s and 1980s show only Deck Rating, Meteorological Rating, Radio & Radar Rating and Steward and Cook arm badges. However shoulder straps are listed for Chief Engineer, 2nd Engineer and 3rd & 4th Engineer (presumably commissioned officers or equivalent)
