Hi SAS1
Ineresting that your bullion pilots wing appears to be silver. Does anyone know if that was normal as I had always thought them to be gold. The one I have is gold, but with the crown officially removed for post republic.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex

It was a bit of a 50/50 purchase but I think overall its good. Outside that I have no info on it, although I have seen others.

The 'AP' Air Photographer might have been a later conversion although a couple of years back a friend picked up an interesting lot, which included a large portrait shot of an RAF bod wearing an SAAF AP wing. After returning to the UK he was ordered to remove it and replace it with an RAF 'O' Wing.

Likewise the 'ARM' wing is a bit of a mystery...

Hi SAS1
Interesting all the same. I still haven't found and AP wing, so it's a nice one to have, converted or not.
Cheers,
Alex
