Unknown Parachute Wing for ID

Got this new wing and have a feeling it might be Egyptian but not sure, can anyone help?

I've tried googling it and there are some similar from Egypt but can't find any the same. A few Middle Eastern wings appear the same.

Thanks for any help, Bill

Bill, I'll check in Bragg & Turner's books - or have you done that already?

If it had two more rings underneath I'd say it was an Olympic parachuting team! LOL

Going by with colour placement, Black-White-Green with a Red triangle, same as the Palestinian flag colours......

Hi, Bill,

I'll check B&T also. However, the rings probably indicate a PJI qual. I'm guessing the star at the top might mean the Senior level of the qual.

The colours are common to several Mid-East nations, so, pretty sure it's from that area of the world.

Confirmation later tonight.

Thanks Paul,

Thanks for all the info guys. I did think it was from out that way somewhere.

Thanks again, Bill

Thanks, Paul. You've saved me the trouble of looking it up as I hadn't had time to do it yet.
