Dear Phil,
Please find attached the drawing of the RA Coast defence insignia, as far as I am aware it was primarily used as a vehicle marking, but it was also used as a unit flash on helmets, and I have been told that some were worn on uniforms.
Regards,
Roger JC Thomas
Military support Officer

Hi,
I've tried there but they want a £41 search fee just to answer if they have
