Default New Zealand WW2 Wings

Thought I would add a photo of my WW2 era New Zealand pilot wings.
One is british made the other 3 are New Zealand made.
Cheers
Gareth

Very Nice Gareth, New Zealand wings tend to be a bit scarce. I have only one NZ wing at this time.
Best

Greek Wing. The construction of this wing looks similar to British made wings of the WW2 period.

Those are the nicest Norwegian badges I have ever seen! Beauties. The Theatre made navigator with the safety pin is actually an SAAF issue wing

Mike, thanks for the comments and the ID on the navigator wing. It is still difficult for me at times to tell some of the Commonwealth brevets apart.

I also have Capt Ulsteins uniform. It has a similar wing sewn to it.
