Junior Parachute Company
I'm bringing new life in an old discussion : often you see these wings identified as "Junior Parachute Company", yet sometimes you can also see them as "The Parachute Regiment". Now, I'm aware that these wings were most probably never worn by the Parachute Regiment on their N°2 dress (just like some other coloured wings have never been seen on N°2 dresses). But, I've also been told that the Junior Parachute Company parawings were made of silk and B&T 1 confirmed this on page 161.
So here is such a silk wing compared to the others. My question is : are the three others, which looks like they were made for a N°2 dress, simply fantasies or were they made for a purpose?
Cheers,
Alain
