E usually means flight engineer, but its usually 1 wing, ill do a little more digging to find a 2 winged version so i can confirm it


it seems more likely to be an RAF sweethearts broach, for a flight engineer to give to his lady or his ladys name began with the letter E

The Air Training Corps (ATC) is the RAF's youth wing, like army cadets. It's a beret badge, probably not that old.

No Idea on the second one.
