Default RAF parachute patches

Hi, I recently bought a large collection of US police badges amongst which were some parachute badges. These two appear to be RAF, what is the second badge? blazer badge or what? Thanks in advance, Mike

Although there is some of their stuff on this website there don't appear to be any direct matches, but I'd guess it was for wear on the flightsuit at some time.
