Another image of my father taken after he joined the RAF & before going to the Far East
Can anyone help me with the badge/emblem on his right arm?
Would love a coloured version - he had black hair
Thanks

I think it is a Wireless Operator's badge Keith. RAF is close to my heart...My son is an interpreter..Flight Sergeant..RAF Air Crew.

Hi Carol - that would make sense - all I can remember him saying about his time in the RAF was that he was Ground Crew :) & that he got his knees brown!

color one

Wow! that's put a smile on my face - you've even got his eye colour right!
Much appreciated - thanks Keith

Thanks so much

As he described himself as ground crew he was probably a Radio Fitter tradesman, maintaining and servicing radio sets rather than a Wireless Operator.

Thank you Tonepad for the extra information regarding my dad's RAF job

Thank you Pablo for your version - his brylcreemed hair is just as I remember it!
Each version of this image gives me something different.
