I thought that the Armed Forces Act 2006 made the wearing of any military decoration, badge, wound stripe or emblem without authority a criminal offence?

And yes, I do find it offensive for Bradford Exchange to sell an article of clothing, which bears the RAF Flying Badge, to anyone not entitled to wear the badge.

Given that “RAF logos are trade marks of the UK Secretary of State for Defence and used under licence.”, according to the advertisement, who is actually 'licensing' misuse of the RAF Flying Badge in this manner?

This is even tackier though - the 'Red Arrows hoodie'....
