Default Glider Wing
Gents!

Not my field, can anyone confirm if this wing is war time or post-war?

Cheers

Its not a Glider Wing its the Army Flying Badge.

Has a look of a WW2 one but of course didnt change after the war upto 1952.

What size is it Coogan? It appears to be the smaller post-war type.

My impression was wrong then, it is the correct wartime pattern.
