The early PJI was worn on the sleeve and had a wreath containing a parachute. This was later replaced, at the end of WW2 I think, by the half wing with a parachute. There seem to be two versions, one with a larger parachute than the other one. There was for a brief while a half wing with AT, Airborne Technician, but this was later replaced (not sure with what). I think it must have been worn by Nimrod crews and AWACs. Haven't found one yet to complete the set - still looking!
