Default Canadian made RAF AG wings
Hi All
I posted a thread in the RAF section regarding Canadian made wings for the RAF in WWII but thought I should have posted here as well. Can anyone please confirm whether these are genuine or not?
Thanks, cheers,
Alex

Hey Alex

They all look like fine original examples of "RAF Pattern Canadian Modified" wings. Sometimes called "Interim Patterns" as these are the crown-less types us Canadians wore before our own Crowned aircrew patterns were approved in 1943

Hi Mike
Thanks, that is fantastic news. They aren't mine unfortunately but do belong to a forum member who isn't too savvy on posting photos.
Cheers,
Alex

No prob! Canada had a ton of these trial patterns that were worn before the crowned ones. I have a range of WAGs, AGs, Ns, Bs and even a very nice E wing! I could write a book on just variations of RCAF interim wings!
