SAS may have this badge before it is paratrooper (flying mechanic, radio ....)

Hi Bernard,

Completely correct. The wing is not SAS. Individual members of the French SAS may have come from the French Air Force and may have worn a wing like that.

BTW: 4th SAS has never worn a SAS title. Many SAS titles sold on Ebay are reproductions, but 4 and 5 SAS titles are complete fantasy items.

Cheers,

Hello Bernard an Johan,

Not completely ok with you.
Of course, these "wings" are clearly not specifically SAS but during ww2, French parachutists were attached to Air Force. So all SAS officer were able to wear them on the dark blue uniform...
