Air Ministry whistle. I was told that these were either on the Mae Wests or part of the Dinghy survival kit.

Nice ORIGINAL whistle, ring looks like it may be a replacement.
Worn on the battledress collars as well.

So very nostalgic. I have half a room stacked with all sorts of RAF gear and your thread is prompting me to tackle the bull by the horns. Thanks for sharing.

Merlin engine piston Battle of Britain souvenir. Very carefully worded, "as used in the Battle of Britain".
