RAF Regiment WW2 printed Shoulder Titles

[Paul Spellman]

Hi,
I picked up a couple of these today and although I got a couple of thumbs up on them I cannot find on a search a similar type for comparison. (No problem on the red on khaki type!)
Hoping someone can confirm or better still share or send me an image of one so I can be more than happy with them.
Thanks
Paul

Paul, here is my rather tatty one or extremely well worn?

I think they're good Paul. Looks very much like my example.

Thanks Craig,
I was a bit surprised I could not find any others using an internet search.
Interesting though that in their history they had a third of their strength transferred to the Infantry after the casualty rate in Normandy had risen and by all accounts acquitted themselves in the highest regard.

My printed example - subtly different from the others illustrated. On very coarse weave material, it looks locally made - in North Africa or Italy perhaps?.

Thanks Mike,
That is an interesting one, I wander if someone could identify the weave for the country of manufacture for you

If I remember correctly, some of the first troops on 'Juno' beach.
I also seem to remember reading somewhere that a fair number of RAF (not sure if it was all RAF Regiment) were told to wear un-badged khaki, which didn't go down well with the troops.

Hi, here are mine, the blue is on the thinner material, the tropical on a thicker material. I think the Canadian forum said the thicker was later, best wishes Mike
