Hi Gerwyn,
Hard to see but there is probably a Qualification badge (denoting a specialist skill) above the Bombardier stripes.
Cheers, John

Hello John
Thank you for your reply. I was thinking going by another photo I have of my Dad, where he's holding the horses reins whilst the farrier cleaning the horses hoof, now I always' thought he had taken the horse there, but their both wearing military working cloths with the shirts sleeve's rolled up, when I looked on line to see could find other photos of farriers, I came across one photo of farriers with the same look.
Regards Gerwyn
