Hi Mate,
Got this information from "The World of Military Wings - The Anglian Collection" Facebook group page.
"The yellow/gold silk woven wing as known to have been worn by some RN FAA CPO pilots on their #2 dress uniform. There is some debate about this as this wing is not referred to in regulations. However, it should be noted that the Royal Canadian Navy Fleet Air Arm did have such a yellow CPO badge (though somewhat simplified) and they did tend to copy the RN. Lack of reference to this badge in regulations could indicate that the RNFAA CPO's chose to copy their Canadian counterparts and it was tacitly accepted."
Cheers
Gareth
