Default Drop Zone Flash opinions

Hi Team

Would love to have opinions on this Flash.

It is 65cm x 65cm or 2.5"x2.5"

My thoughts are just a cut piece of cloth until I looked at British Airborne Insignia by Oliver Lock and there are several Flashes showing this type of un hemmed cross stitched weave cloth fabric(HQ and HQ signals HQ Bde 5th Inf Bde) and also a hemmed 2 para.

The book goes onto say the supplies brought bolts of coloured fabric , had them cut and soldiers would have them folded , press and sew into place.

Period 70's to 80's

cheers

Phill
