Thanks, I did look at that site but couldn't see an exact match but your suggestion to post in the Navy section is a good one (not sure why I didn't just do that in the first place)!

Thanks!

The crossed torpedoes badge in the original post has just a star above which makes it for a Leading Torpedo Man 1903-47 as shown in your link. Torpedo Gunner's Mates had a mix of Crown & star/stars on their badges.

Much appreciated.
