    Hi guys,
    I've had these badges in my collection for a while now. I can't figure out what the top 2 are. Is the middle one used for the new bandsman uniform?

    Any ideas?

    I've never seen the blue one, but as for the other 2. To my knowledge of of them means the person passed selection, and the other passed selection and served in the wing. I always get mixed up in which is which though. In saying that I could be totally wrong.

    Yes, yellow if you pass selection and return to unit and red if you serve(d) in ARW. have never seen the other

    All 3 look extremely bogey to me.

    As far as I know the shoulder tab for serving and former members of the ARW has a double red and yellow border with yellow lettering on a black background, meaning the one pictured is not an official one. Open to correction on this.

    Also, isn't the one for passing the course, yellow text and border on a green background? Again, open to correction on this.
