Various RAAF badges and patches |
| This style of badge was
used by RAAF as a sleeve badge in small size and as a hat or side cap
badge in a larger size but the official RAAF hat badge was by far the
more often used.
This one was "dug" near Tamworth. |
 |
 |
|
| The badge which looks like a pilots badge but has stars instead of the "RAAF" logo is the current navigators brevet insignia, it replaces the old which was a single wing with an "N" in the middle. The new badge came into effect on 1st Dec 1998 & was to be worn by personnel who qualified after this date. If they qualified before this date then they have the option of wearing either badge. | |

To
celebrate the 50th anniversary of RAAF Edinburgh in 2004, this beautiful
limited edition commemorative medallion was struck.
Circulation of this limited edition medallion was limited to personnel working at Edinburgh, making this an otherwise difficult to obtain item. One side of the medallion depicts the Lockheed P3C Orion, and a Bristol Freighter. The other side of the medallion depicts the base crest. The P3C Orion is the RAAF's frontline AEW aircraft and is based at RAAF Edinburgh, serving under 92 Wing's 10, 11 and 292 Squadrons. The Bristol Freighter was the first aircraft to land at RAAF Edinburgh upon the base's opening in 1954. The medallion is 50mm (approx 2 inches) in diameter, and 5mm (1/5th of an inch) thick. |

I have enclosed a copy of 2 items, the first is
the RAAF Provost Badge. This was designed by me when I served as a
Sergeant as the winner of a competition run at HQPROVOST Chancery House
in the early seventies. It was approved by HRH Queen Elizabeth II.
Item 2 is the original Silver badge worn over the left breast
pocket. Graeme Hardiman ex FSgt. RAAF
