Can anyone help with identifying this helmet flash. I have been told it’s REME but the colours are the wrong way round, and the yellow stripe is wrong ( or so I believe! )
I would appreciate any input.

Is the flash on both sides or just one?
Here are two REME flashes, both different layouts, but the same colours.
There is a real dearth of information on British unit flashes. I am sure someone has researched them, but I have never seen it.
Thanks guys, I have since found that my man was originally in RAOC and transferred at sometime to REME so that mayanswer the question, although I am still a bit baffled as to why my flash is red/yellow/blue as opposed to blue/yellow/red (REME) and why in a diamond shape!
Nice helmet! I don't understand the color. The flash on the images is blue, yellow, red, which is the standard REME flash. Why did you say red/yellow/blue?
There is another MKII helmet with a double flash: one side has the REME standard flash, and the other side has a diamond flash like yours.
I'm not sure if I can insert the image here. I'll ask the collector, and if they say yes, I will post it here.
Hi tinlid, thanks for that. I have since found that my man was originally in the RAOC and was transferred to REME at some stage.
Hi psycopis, when I was searching for information, a lot of images for REME flashes were coming up red and blue with no yellow so I was a bit confused! Thanks for your reply.
