Territory Airlines had at least three types of pilot wings. Tinnies are the original Territory Airlines. There were (from memory) two types of subsequent TAL wings.

I think Air Niugini had two types in my time in PNG. One was rather large with a big squashed cockroach (least thats what it looked like - probably a styalised Bird of Paradise) in the center. Their cap badges were similar and massive - so heavy their heads drooped forward.

Probably because they were designed by the Kraut GM!

Sharpie would know. He was in PNG before the Dead Sea even became sick!
