My first thought too, re the Union Jack badge - but I couldn't remember if there would lettering at the top.
But what are the odds of it being genuine? The A & SH sprang immediately to mind re. The chequered badge, bur it's light blue instead of white?

I think the sky blue and red check badge may have RAF or ATC connections?

It is sky blue and red not white and red, but still perhaps RAF?

I have been pondering the first badge shown with the sky blue and maroon chequered band and have two suggestions:
A) Could it be specific to a particular RAF squadron, perhaps derived from the chequered banding some squadrons sported on their aircraft between the wars? B) Could it be a combat version of the chequered hat bands worn by RAF apprentices, for use during field training and exercises? Just my thoughts, for what they are worth. All the best Graham
