I think it can be said with a degree certainty that the aiguillette is not RAF and the wing is completely spurious.

Hi BC, the first image with the albatross and crown is actually the central motif of a RAF officers sword guard. It would have been trimmed then inset into the guard. If you Google it, you will find multiple images.
Cheers, Greg |

The shoulder strap and aiguillette look to be the type worn by some members of the Household Cavalry. Marc
