All my books of between the wars have their few illustrations devoted to aircraft, not personnel close-ups. Yeovilton doesn't seem to be much help, they grant you one hour apparently.
How many RN types had flying status and escaped being dragooned into the RAF? Of that handful I would imagine one or two seconded to the RAF. SO maybe this is, in effect, a one-off.
I might try emailing Gieves for a quick date on the label. Does anyone have a contact or email address?
Many thanks.
