Thanks for the kind words guys, much appreciated.
A good question re the PFF Badge. AMO A1244 details the badge. Stores Ref - 22H/629.
I will say that the only genuine PFF Badge comes with the letter and/or certificate! Or maybe one attached to a named Service tunic.
The pin brooch badges are post war and were predominantly worn by veterans as members of the PFF association on it's introduction, the association closed during 2002 however annual functions are still held at RAF Wyton, this year we had 17 vets! 92 to 98 years young. This style of badge is still worn today by those brave men and/or their family member when attending functions and/or services.
The original tunics I have on display have a few different types of fastening. The main one being the stud and nut type (Like that as worn on the forage cap). There are also a couple with the tang type fastening (Like that as worn on the visor cap). They must also face to the right as you look at it.
Any other questions on the PFF, i'm more than happy to help.
Thanks once again guys and all the very best to you and yours.
