GeePig Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Is it for a glider pilot? It's a long time since I have seen a badge like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ted angus Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 HI l think you will find that its a second glider pilots wings WALLY et Al I should have known this but had to drag the books out, it is most likely the ATC Gliding Instructors wings or it could be the wings adult airmen were/are allowed to wear if they attain solo glider status after enrolling in the RAF. My Flt Commander at Bruggen used to wear the latter we were quite merciless in calling him "Sir the over grown space cadet" !! The 2 types are possibly identical or very near !
