Default curious winged "V.R." cypher with King's Crown badge, by Pitt & son of Maddox St

hey all,
I should very much like to use the collective hivemind here for identification of the following button.

my guesstimate is mess dress/bandsman sort of thing, but then, it may even not be a (V)olunteer (R)eserve related.
thanks all,
s.

It’s an early pattern button for a blazer RAF Volunteer Reserve.
