Default RAF Regiment Shoulder Title

Hi All,

I've just picked this up and am hoping to date it.

I have a relative who was in the regiment very early on after it's formation, would this fit with his service? Is it war time?

Thanks,

Michael

I think you will find that this is Post WW2, as the blue is not dark enough.

Thanks Marc,

The photo does make it a bit lighter than it actually is, in reality it looks almost black. Would that make a difference?
