Default RAF Rgt - BMATT - FP

One for the RAF officionados. I'm fairly happy that this is RAF Regt, but can anyone tell me anything about where, who and when?

Obviously for a BMATT team 'somewhere' - RAF Regt carrying out Force Protection? (FP)

Perhaps the white bit under the crossed rifles might give us an idea of who wore it? I did a search of RAF Regiment TRFs, but didn't find anything like what I can see.

Neither will the body armour shoot itself or the WMIKs brass themselves up following an abortive defence of an airfield.

Could be British Military Advisory Training Team that deployed to Nigeria or Czech Republic.

There were RAF Regiment and RAF Police deployed teaching FP.

Many thanks Bill - it's going to be something like that.
