Found these today. What's the uniform of the photo'? The GvR is for the Royal Defence Corps. Who dat??

Given the coloured side cap, I bet on the Queens Bays (crown -top- is blue too. If it had been white, it'd have been either 13/18th Hussars or 17/21st Lancers)

Thanks for that. What period are we talking about?

I would suggest RAF. The cap possibly displays the white flash that determined Pilot under training during WW2?

Kind regards, Malcolm.

I hadn't thought about RAF. At first glance I'd opt for WW2 but this is just a guess....

Spot on MJW. I found this pic of a chap who was a pilot in training in WWII.
