In the medal room thee was a studio photograph of :

S/SGT CYRIL PEARSON GLIDER PILOT REGT /A.A.C

wearing the following insignia.

Airborne forces `maroon ` beret with white metal AAC badge

he was dressed in the 1922 pat service TUNIC ( the ones similar to the first war tunic with 4 front pockets )

cloth glider pilot Rgt one piece title with cloth numeral below ,it looked like the no. 2

brass `R.E` titles to shoulder strap , brass `R.E ` tunic buttons.

cloth quailfied glider pilot breast wings

sgt cheverons with brass grenade above .

All in all a very nice image with a very interesting mix of insignia worn on an unusual tunc.
