The wire embroidered RRAF wings are made in Pakistan and are a complete fantasy item, despite looking very nice. The RRAF never wore wire embroidered wings. on service dress / work dress. It is also rather doubtful that they were worn in miniature on mess dress as well.

The embroidered RhAF wing at bottom in the first post is also a well known repro, sadly. Have attached images of original types as examples.
