What Does This RAF Tie Signify?
A colleague of mine (ex wartime RAF Bomber Command) has a tie that he believes to be a Bomber Command tie. As I have served in Bomber Command also it is not the normal one that I possess ie reddish maroon background with the gold motif. His is not the Bomber Command Association striped tie which I also have.
His tie that we both saw, on TV, Bomber Command veterans at the Cenotaph wearing last Sunday is as follows:
Navy blue background with two very thin stripes light blue and green (I believe) running diagonally across from time to time and also with the RAF albatross in gold regularly dotted about on top of the background.
I should be grateful if any 'tie expert' could tell me the name of it as I can't find a picture anywhere on the internet.
