Thanks Tim, Marc
This has been a valuable lesson on coloured wings and hope other collectors will learn from it as I have.
Over the years I have seen these wings and only until recently,when I won these in an auction down here (equivalent to 2 quid ea), I started to do what research I could and found that there were plenty of images but no real substance behind the dating and confirmation of coloured wings.
Tim I did see your comment on Alain Conradi's thread "I make no claim that this selection are all genuine, approved or issued," which made me think what was genuine, approved or issued.
Marc good to know the date of issue and at least we can understand when dating this wing for an original, to look for a 1950's (possibly 60's?) embroidered wing ,would like to see an original and image of its use.
cheers team
Phill
