Day 2 of Holyrood Week brings us another badge in action.
No. 603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron RauxAF Badge
The Queen has been Honorary Air Commodore of this Squadron since she was Princess Elizabeth, in 1951. She has worn this badge to multiple occasions with the group. On a shield suspended from wings, it appears to incorporate the triple-towered castle present in the Squadron's badge (below). That castle is similar to the one present in the Arms of Edinburgh.
