Thanks Paul and Mike, I have similar thoughts —construction looks good to me, like UK-made insignia, but I haven’t seen one like it (I’m not an expert on Canadian para wings). I compared it to the wings shown in Ken Joyce’s excellent book “Into the Maelstrom,” and to my untrained eye it seems closest to the Type 3 wing made in the UK in 1943 by various manufacturers, on order from the Canadian defense ministry.
Best regards,
Donovan
