Found a few nice Course crests over the weekend and one Sqn crest. Looked up the Sqn crest, WWII unit only so the Queens Crown does not make a lot of sense

Given that it is a blazer crest, it is easy to see where the maker could get the crown wrong.

Blazer crests are often made for / ordered by veterans' associations. Perhaps this was made for the squadron vets?

Course crests are difficult to find. Nice catch. Any idea what RDAF means?

At first I had thought Royal Dutch, but that would be the wrong name for the country. don't know!

I think it is the Royal Danish Air Force.

Hey Larry

I'm glad you mentioned this thread to me at the show, I missed it completely! Great group of crests. As for the squadron crest, 162 wasn't resurrected, so it is odd to have a QC, All I can think of is the maybe when the vet had it made for his blazer the tailor put a QC on it as the current Royal Reign dictates
