Anyone seen red and green RFC wings?

[Spode]

I have never seen a variant like this, but I have not actually seen many. Has anyone seen something like these?

The green is very green in the wreath and I have looked through Carroll, my only reference, and not seen any with red letters.

Any ideas please?

Hi Spode.
Thanks for showing this interesting and unusual example. It certainly has cheery colours; perhaps it’s a Christmas wing. I’m no expert on RFC wings either and Carroll is also my best source but this looks like it may be of modern, machine (not hand stitched) construction, perhaps from the South Asia area. The hints for me (beside the unusual colours) are the thick, perhaps cotton threads in all locations, the perfectly shaped wreath, the backing and the perfect shape and symmetry of the patch suggesting it was machine cut. The mothing, if the above is correct, is perhaps added to give it a feeling of age. I hope I’m totally off-base and others will feel that it is representative of period construction.

The RFC letters are not thin cotton / thread as usually seen, the detail is lacking on the configeration of the "F"
I have seen four of this type appear recently ?? in different colors ,a coincidence maybe ...

Does it glow under UV light?
Could it possibly have been made for RFC veterans in the Home Guard in WWII?
