If you go down a ways there is a check list for evaluating the authenticity of this specific patch.
Hope this helps.

No chastisement intended Jim but perhaps you could amend the following quote from your ebay buyers guide:-

"Embroidered unit titles, formation badges, skill-at-arms badges, parachute wings which are genuine, normally show exposed clean stitching on the underside. Reproductions frequently have thicker thread, with the threads crossing over, or are totally covered by a black backing"

Genuine (and intact) British glider pilot wings should have a black paper backing
