LOL, I may tell him eventually if nobody else does. Although, I fully expect to get ignored as usual by sellers misdescribing their items.

Stampede away guys!!

come on .... everyone knows RAF formed when London Zoo visited by Her Majesty and an Albatross flew off with her proper crown .... the event embalmed in tasteful perspex as current c. 1900.

I have several varieties of this, some bronze, some Boer war economy, some to the VF/TF and Militia [Balloon sections] and one worn by Garrison Police on Brassard made of teflon. Sliders, pagri sliders, you name it.

Delivery next week possible.

Innit?

Victorian RAF with a Kings' Crown, gotta be kidding. More likely Edwardian.

Perspex was invented in 1934.

Priceless stuff!
I found this Red Cross flag on ebay this week:

I told the seller that somehow the cross appears to be white rather than red.
