The cap badge was never issued from HQ stores. (Confirmed, June 2021, by a Flint TA Store man that served in the late 1960s). The RA cap badge was worn.
Did the affiliated cadets also wear the RA badge ?

Edwards book records that the collars were worn with the RA cap badge. they may not have done for the entire period but he clearly thought they did at one time.

Well clearly the cap badge was made, but not actually issued - makes it quite an interesting piece and certainly explains their scarcity.

Regards all

I seem to have its match, although in even worse condition.
