Are these cloth badges related to the Flieger-HJ?

Just got these two LUFTWAFFE PATCHES IN A COLLECTION and think they may be Flieger-HJ school graduate patches worn on the luftwaffe uniform

Abzeichen für ehemalige Militärschüler

The insignia for former military students

On 9 May 1941 a command was signed to launch a special badge for identification of the former students of the Fliegerteschnishen Vorschulen [Aeronautical prepatory tecnical schools] that were provided in accordance with their special training to use in the airforce technical service. The badge should be worn on the left upper arm of the Tuchrock [cloth coat] and the Fliegerbluse [airman blouse] midway between the elbow and the sleeve seam of non-commissioned officer and enlisted men during the entire duration of their service obligation

Officially it was described as follows: " In dull gray cotton embroidery a three-bladed propeller on a round gray-blue cloth underlay [Tuchunterlage] of 5.5 cm diameter. To the left of the vertical upward standing propeller are the letters "Fl." on the right side a "T", and between the wings standing down a "V" embroidered in dull gray cotton.”

Contemporary originals in aluminium embroidery exist.

Permission to wear the insignia was written in the Soldbuch.

Great catch Paul and excellent information from Henrik, as usual.

There is more info about this section of the HJ in the page 27 of Vol. 2 of the series "Youth ledt by Youth" by Baker.
