Radar Qualification Patches
I have run across a couple of Radar related qualification patches, and wonder if first - is that a legitament badge and second do these sound correct.
1. Is an R with two lightening bolts on a rectangular khaki backing. 2. RADAR within a wreath on an oval khaki backing. Lastly, would these be consider anti-aircraft if they are legitament? Thanks, Terry

Both badges are circa 1954;
1. Radar Mechanic. 2. Operator Fire Control (Radar). I have never seen the OpFC badge being worn. Marc

Thanks Marc! Would they be connected to anti-aircraft?

No I don't think they were.
The R with flashes was for REME Radar mechs, and the OpFC was for the RA Locating Radar Operators, again I have never seen the badge being worn. Marc
