if you look at that badge i think it shows a froggy and ores (the things u row with 0X ) decending down on a chute, they might do the same as the SAS but more seabourn ops.
i could be wrong.

Tha 'wings' are there because all SBS members are parachute trained.

That is the old 'insignia' of SB company and was used on things such as presentation tankards.

There are several Scots regiments that also wear plumes of some sort.

Yes that's true, but only the fusiliers wear them in NI and places where you wouldn't stick your head over the wall. Aiming mark anyone? Did you say Duck?

Ahoy there!
The KOSBs and Black Watch would not be happy to have there cockades referred to as budgies.
The Royal Irish Regiment also wear a cockade on their ceremonial berets.
