RAF Wing Opinions?
Another wing added to my small but growing RAF collection. Found this at the SOS show last week. To me it looked to be pre WW2, or between the wars? Would be interested to hear what others might think. The base material appears to be a grayish colored twill.
thanks Jack

Looks awesome to me! Dating it could be tough as it doesn't look like any standard pattern. Could have been a "frontier" or "theatre made" wing during the war

Thanks fellas, here is the reverse. Have not run across this type of back before either. One of the features that caught my eye on the wing is the bullet shaped "A".

Well done Jack,
Looks like a thumbs up all around. This one has lovely 'character' to it, a super nice find, thanks for sharing. Cheerio, Roy

Thanks for all the positive comments. Having looked at numerous WW2 wings and not finding a match my thoughts as mentioned above were between the wars. However theater made may be a good option.
Best Jack
