Default Padded 1960's Canadian Parachute Wing

Hi team

Thought I would show a padded Can Para wing c1960s.

Not the norm however would this have been for an officer?

Anymore info would be appreciated.

cheers

Phill

Hello Phil. Parachute qualification wings were frequently padded for "high resolution" on the tunic. They were not specifically officer's.

Thanks Bill

I have about 20 Padded parachute wings from various era's up to modern day SAS wings and these are the best "scuptured" padded I have, there was a lot of thought gone into this style padding.

cheers

Phill
