Default Any clues to identify this badge?
Not sure what the attached is. I believe it may be American, however was seen in a surplus store in the UK amongst a load of other British badges.

Any ideas gents?

It is/was an RAF Bomb Disposal unit, it had a number like 5131 or similar but I’m at work and can’t check until I get home.

All the best

Graham
