Default Royal Uster Rifles glider borne

Please see the photo of 3 of the rarer Airborne badges.
At the top the officer's beret badge as worn on the maroon beret. A riflegreen circular backing. A flat back, marked STERLING /SILVER ,this one also has RJRC ( or poss RTRC) scratched on the back by the original owner.
Centre the light blue embroidered on dark blue shoulder title only worn by Airborne.
Bottom the glider qualified badge. I suspect this is actually from the Devons because the green looks a little light, but it does illustrate how troops backed badges on their best battledress.
