Default Despatch rider RAF or RN?

I bought this nice badge at the weekend, at first I convinced myself it was RAF, but now I'm wondering if it could be WRNS?

All thoughts appreciated.

Hi Rob,

I can't help I'm afraid but I can see why you bought it, I wouldn't mind that 'salty' example myself, nice.

Cheerio,

Roy

Same pattern as the unofficial Army ones. Would this suggest RAF or RFC? I am not clued up, just stabbing in the dark. Army DRs were all RCoS I think?

Gents,

Does anyone have an image or one of these badges being worn?

Cheers,

Roy
