Default Unknown subdued unit recognition badge
Chaps, unknown badge, British I think. Could it be an RAF Regt sub unit?

If it is, it’s a variation I haven’t seen before.

Thanks chaps - its a similar design, but its not 7AD Regt (that was my first port of call). 7 AD Regt is oblong, whereas this badge is square and its a different configuration of the centaur.

The design below was worn by members of 7th Air Defence Brigade which has recently been renamed 7th Air Defence Group. It was never a Regiment.

I know, just pointing out the incorrect Unit titles used in the thread. So that those who have the 7 AD Bde, 7 AD Grp badge in their collections can use the correct title.
