A superb and un-issued - full size 12.5cm - British Army Flying qualification wing aka a Glider Pilot wing

This is a neat example of a un-issued flat type British Army Flying qualification wing also known as 'Glider Pilot wing'. The wing was introduced in late 1942 for Staff Sergeants, first class pilots and Officer pilots. The wing has a large light blue wing on either side of a royal crest on black background. There are some variations known on a khaki background and in bullion. This example is a big flat type and measured 12.5 cm across and is further in a perfect and un-issued condition. A wing that is difficult and harder to get these days. A nice little British airborne badge.
