Excuse my ignorance but could someone explain "Colchester Hants" to me.
I have just started to collect anything Hampshire and wonder if this should be included.

Thank you OC14 and johnG, so now I know but when was the Air efficiency medal first awarded? I must assume that he survived the war and served until at least 1953.

I have tried to find it with no success. I don't...

My grateful thanks Malc. at least I can now say that I have seen the badge. I assume that it must be genuine but does the Kings Crown model still have the three lugs?

I tend to agree with Mike H but I like the suggestion from 54Bty but I wonder if the poor blokes wearing it would feel more like Christmas trees than soldiers.
