Default DZ flashes & (?) Cadet badge ID Please

Can anyone ID these please.

The first is like Depot Para but the colour is white not light blue.

The second is pale / sky blue.

The third possibly Staffordshire Cadets?

Many thanks

Chris

Cant help on the obviously Stafford related one.
However, the other 2, Burgundy/Blue is Para Regt depot. The light blue one was (I believe) a rejected 2 Para replacement D/Z patch.

Agree with Mr T. I also heard that many thousands of the light blue DZ flash were produced last year for 2 PARA in an attempt to differentiate in colour from the blue of the Airborne Royal Engineer DZ flash. However, there was a Pantone Number error during the ordering/production process and they were obviously rejected.

The ‘Stafford’ TRF I have and thought was for MERCIAN affiliated Army Cadet Force units. However, a previous post rejected this identification.

Default EDIT

T & Tim,

thank you I have had to edit my post - I don't know how I wrote what I did - I meant to say "it is like the Depot Para but white and maroon NOT blue / maroon!
