Paul, I have spoken to Peter and he sent me this photo. The person in the photo is the late Jock Hutton who passed away at age 96. He served in the 13th Lancashire Parachute Battalion during WW2, jumped on D-Day and later went on to become RSM of the Rhodesian SAS.
This photo was taken in the early 1960s in Rhodesia and shows him wearing the type of para wing that we are discussing.
In 1961 PTS was built but the PJI brevets were a British issue for a number of years. Pete's logic is if the Rhodesians were making para wings at this time why weren't the SAS and the PJI's wearing them instead of English made ones?
