Raf badges
Hi Tony
As the previous poster stated, the VR is a wartime example and the ASR post war. As for the other blue/grey background badges they could be anytime from the 1947 colour change right up to 1972, when the battledress ceased and the new pattern dark blue background badges were issued. The exception to the earlier dates is the 3 bladed propellor of an SAC, not introduced until 1950. The same dates would also apply to the Regiment mudguards shown in the other post. Judging by the state of them they all came from pretty well worn uniforms. Dave |
