Another beret to identify
I picked this up a while ago but cannot identify it.
The beret is a very light grey. The odd 'backing' is more the colour of the RAMC cherry red backing, but I cant identify the teardrop shape, reminiscent of the old WRAC shape. The beret has been worn, but there are no marks where a cap badge has been affixed to the beret or the backing. Any ideas? Bess |

Any NSN or other markings in the liner?

Could it be SRR?
I've never seen anyone wearing one with an RAMC badge but they do in the other bits of UKSF... |

Tim, is that the wrong picture for the SRR beret?

Looks it - khaki (with a green patch) rather than emerald grey?

Thats a bit more like it. What is the red backing/'badge' though?
There are no markings inside apart from the double line stitching diamond, where the label & plastic has been removed. Black leather band. Bit of an odd one this . . . |

RAMC attached, as previously suggested?

Yes, just that the QARANC teardrop is of a scarlet shade, this appears to be cherry / maroon.

Nothing at all Leigh and its much lighter in colour than the QARANC beret. Attached pics and comparison for colour with my 264 SAS Sigs Sqn beret.
