#6 EFTS Prince Albert
A nicely made cap badge... I will assume cap badge due to it's size..... tip to tip on the wings is 82 mm.
Maker marked McKenzie & Clay Winnipeg... A maker I had not encountered before. #6 EFTS was Commonwealth flight training school. It was opened in July of 1940 and closed November of 1944.... during much of 1941 and 1942 it doubled as the #6 Air Observer School... Jack

That is a great find from an important part of Canada's wartime history that is often ignored. Thank you for posting. Don |

Beauty badge, and one I am still looking for! It's not a BFTS, but rather an EFTS. Elementary Flying Training School

Jack, there was a BFTS program. British Flying Training School. These were 6 RAF schools established in the USA, operated by contract flying schools. A whole other "kettle of fish" as it were
