I was thinking it might have something to do with the ATC as I think one of their gliding levels has two gliders on it, although I don't know what ZS stands for.

If you go here: http://www.scottishglidingcentre.co.uk/badge_system.htm you'll see this pattern of badge is current although what the letters mean I have no idea. If you google "international glider badge" you'll see many variants.

Its a glider qualification badge for ATC and CCF RAF units. Certainly worn from the mid 1960s
