Hi all

The airforce "bug" is starting to bite, picked up a few medal groups over the past few years and now along with them a few badges.

Purchased these WW2 era cloth badges yesterday, and thought I would share them with the BBF and get a few comments regards their issue.

I particularly like the pair of Bevo Eagles.

Regards
Brian

Nice. The eagles are standard wartime from about 1941.

The winged bullet was worn in the RAF, RCAF, SAAF, RAAF AND SRAF (not sure if the RNZAF), this is the SAAF version. Worn pre war to about 1942. Pretty scare, I have one on an oval. I've only seen one other, also on an oval.
