South Africa - Rare Large `31 Squadron` WW2 SAAF Enamel Badge

South Africa - Rare Large '31 Squadron' WW2 SAAF Enamel Badge

This original, rare, larger version, WW2 black and white enamel badge was worn by the South African Air Force 'No.31 Squadron', a heavy bomber squadron based in the Mediterranean. It features an owl in relief flying between two search light beams, with two dice, showing a three and a one above and a small bomb below marked 'SAAF'. This badge is in excellent condition and bigger than the ones I've come across, with a 32mm diameter measurement. 

Note: The '31 Squadron' was formed in December 1939 and operated from the Celone Airfield in Italy. They flew US B-24 Liberator bombers over Crete, Ploesti and Warsaw and later transported POW's from Italy to England. The squadron was disbanded in December 1945.
