Default 1942 RN Commissioned Observer prototype

Hi there guys,

In Jefford's second edition book, "Observers and Navigators, on page 257, he shows an RAF prototype for the introduction of the 1942 RN Observer wings. It was not accepted but I was wondering if anyone has a colour photo of the RAF prototype? Jefford has only put in a B/W photo and maybe since it was done in 1942, that the B/W photo is the only available image. Would there have been an example kept of this prototype?

Kind regards

Doug

I don't understand 'RAF prototype of RN wings...' Can you add a photo?

Since it is out of a recent book I am not sure about copyright issues but it was an RAF style 1/2 wing with KC and fouled anchor in the middle. Should have said RAF style prototype rather than RAF prototype.

Regards

Doug
