Default RFC PAGRI FLASH
Can any Forum member tell me if the RFC wore a pagri flash overseas?

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Malcolm.

The flash was pale (Sky) blue with navy blue vertical edges and a central vertical red line. The RFC regimental tie has the same configuration and shade/hue of stripes used at the time of WW1.
