Hi Frank,

I totally agree with you that an eagle, unless provenance is given to what it truly is, especially with regards to 8 Group, is just an eagle. That's the reason I always question those that offer such and item and normally no proof is had!

I also agree with what you are saying re the Pathfinders and the different types of fixings though was the original question not the initial issue of this badge and their fixings? I think we agree, going by your comments, that the utilitarian was a later edition to the fixings of this most honoured award. Sorry if I've got that wrong with what you're saying.

I also had the pleasure of knowing Patrick and I also had the honour in hosting him at many of the PFF Functions we both attended at RAF Wyton. However, as far as I remember he flew with 35 and 582 Sqns! I have the Sqn Operation Record Book for him and his Ops.

If you're ever in the Cambs area you'll be made more than welcome to visit the Heritage Centre.

Cheers for now

Johnny
