What exactly is this badge?
Confusion of uniform by the unwashed genpub is fairly routine; back in the days of the awful Thunderbird jacket I was mistaken for a railway employee. But the best I've seen was when a CAA chap with 4 gold rings turned up at the flying club to do some check ride or other - the RAF Movers who inhabit the hangar went into low earth orbit as they thought he was a senior customs officer about to lead a rummage team through their building!
