Default Glider Pilot Regt

Gents, I believe this badge is likely to be a well known copy - not my area, so any confirmation of my suspicions welcomed before I consign it to the rubbish box.

Thanks chaps, just thought I'd get confirmation before I disappeared it. No idea where it came from, came across it when having a clear out.

Always better to check if it's not your area . . . .you never know.

Default Keep in a box until the next Armed forces day

Then give them to the RBL or whatever for the kids
Happy days and fostering a new collecting youth.
