Default A couple of interesting cloth.
Well, I found them of interest, so hope others do.

Can probably work out what each is, but would appreciate confirmation from those that know.

Those from Digby are known as "darksiders" as they specialise in SIGINT.

All SIGINTers are (or at least were) known as darksiders given their aversion to sunlight - even the green hatted heroes of Y Troop...

There is another JSSU at Cheltenham, never seen a badge for it though. There is a JSSU RN Cap Tally too.

The other one is the predecessor to Op ATALANTA - the anti-piracy mission off Somalia...
