Default Specialist RAF Qualification Course Badges - QWI / QHTI / QMETI / QAS

Looking to put together my own catalogue of RAF badges and am trying to get hold of as many examples of specialist qualification badges as I can, such as Qualified Weapons Instructors (QWI) etc

These are all significant professional RAF courses that allow the Graduate to wear a 'patch' on their Flying Suit or Combat Uniform. The term 'patch' is used by the US Military to signify a Graduate of their Weapons School such as USAF Weapons School or US Navy Top Gun. The QWI courses are the RAF equivalent.

I am aware of a few and that there has been several versions since the inception of such courses, especially before the standardisation of the patches by AWC.
  • QWI (Qualified Weapons Instructors) [for a range of specific platforms including: Typhoon, Reaper, Tornado GR, Tornado F3 ADV, Harrier, Jaguar, Rapier, Buccaneer, expecting Lightning II soon]
  • QWI ISR (Qualified Weapons Instructors Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance)
  • QMETI (Qualified Multi-Engine Tactics Instructor)
  • QHTI (Qualified Helicopter Tactics Instructor)
  • QAS (Qualified Aerosystems)

Do any of you know of any more and do you have pictures you could share?
