A very attractive - and not so aften seen variation - typical British made parachute qualification wing

This is superb example of a - not so aften seen variation - typical British made parachute qualification wing. The parachute qualification wing was introduced in early 1941 for everyone who had passed the Parachute Training school located at Ringway near Manchester Airport. These wings came in different shapes and sizes. The parachute qualification wing was issued after the soldier had qualified for them after 8 jumps. 2 from a balloon and 6 from a aircraft. This wing is in a nicely un-issued condition.
