Yes the Rhodesian collector was Peter and he was kind enough to share the photo with me.
I’m still on the fence on this wing being war-time or post war given the only evidence to date of this wing being worn is the photo provided by Craig via Peter to me on a post-war Rhodesian officer’s uniform.
I would urge caution about the assumption that the absence of a PTS meant that the Force couldn’t have a wing of their own.
It would be good to see the evidence that this para wing was not designed nor made there? It’s certainly a distinctive design and the later Army designs closely followed the original wing.
A very interesting thread this is developing into and this is one of my favourite wings so keen to learn as much about it as possible.
Thanks
Paul
