More Parachutte cloth wings Subdued & Coloured

[Phill Lockett]

Here are 3 more wings

1/Subdued embroidered on cotton drill:

When were these issued and replaced?

2/Machine embroidered on felt light blue wings (longer) adhesive backing.

Date of issue and is this style still issued?

3/embroidered on felt blue wings khaki cloth backed.

These look older maybe 60's-70's?

cheers team

Hi Team

Any comments are these all original modern era wings from 1970's-2000 period?

Just need confirmation.

cheers

The middle wings are 1970s issue and the subdued wings are 1980s private purchase but often worn. The last set of coloured wings may be 1960s or earlier but I’m not sure.

The backing cloth on the third pair is much coarser than anything I have in my collection RM or army that its similar but I only collect from the 1980s onwards.

Hi Colin

My understanding it is 60's era, hopefully some one can confirm.

cheers
