A nice '40 made British RAF (Royal Air Force) No.1 Parachute Training School label badge

This is good example of a nice late '40 British made RAF (Royal Air Force) No.1 Parachute Training School label badge. No.1 Parachute Training School RAF (No.1 PTS) was a Royal Air Force training unit that was initially based at RAF Ringway, now Manchester Airport and is currently based at RAF Brize Norton. It was formed at Ringway on 21 June 1940 as the Central Landing School and from 1 October 1940 it was designated as the Parachute Training Squadron of the Central Landing Establishment. Following growth in the unit's task, it became an independent unit as the Parachute Training School on 15 February 1942. Following formation of a second school in India, the current name of No.1 Parachute Training School was adopted on 27 July 1944. In 2009, the School was renamed the Airborne Delivery Wing. The badge is in a good condition with a working pin and is maker marked, Miller Ltd based in Birningham.
