curious - scout or guide badge...like for a sixer? / patrol leader?

Hi - curious found this in old chocolates box with a few sewing items.  I know its not of value unless its '50s same as the chocs box... looks like a scout or guide band worn on the top of your arm....anyone recognise it?

Try Googling ...

'Original WW2 RAF cloth badge depicting a single propeller, the badge is in good uniform removed condition'

Appears to be quite similar.

Cheers, M.

wow yes it does look similar - the cloth of mine is black and the propellor is blue, but certainly more interesting that a guide badge! (there were also two black buttons with 4 holes in them.. looks like they could have come off a coat - but likely unrelated) thank you

I was also going to suggest RAF or RAAF because of it being a propeller.

Or maybe Young Eagles.

Hi onekiwi0,

It is an RAAF Leading Aircraftman cloth patch, World War II

I have a jacket here and the patch is sewn on the sleeves (just above the elbows)

Good reference site here:
