Army Air Corps photo help, please
Not my area of collecting, so looking to sell this cracking, little 8cm x 6cm photo at some point, but I wonder if members might be able to expand on the insignia depicted, please?
AAC cap badge; Pegasus flash, 'something Regt' cloth, shoulder title, and brevet over left breast pocket. Comments appreciated. (NOW SOLD) With thanks: Last edited by Jelly Terror; 21-05-16 at 09:46 AM.

As for the title on his shoulder......I would venture...Glider Pilot Regt.

The wings on his breast pocket are for a second pilot. So, I would agree, Glider Pilot Regiment. The shoulder title would be light blue with dark blue lettering.

Thank you, David.
What's the difference (if any) between brevets and wings?

Can anyone tell me please, if the letter within the circle a 'C' or a 'G'? It looks like a 'G', in David's link:

All very colourful indeed, walking around in that battle dress would certainly get the wearer noticed!

Tie and open collar suggests photo was taken in 1945 or later.
