HELP NEEDED

[herkman]

Agood friend of mine has lost all of his RAAF gear through a break in at his house.

The biggest loss is his flying badge for his 1A dress uniform, which is really a half wing with the letter C.

This position is no longer used by the RAAF and so there are no unissued ones in store.

I remember for a very good friend of mine, who served in the RAF as a parachute jump instructor , that I was able to get him a replacement from a company in the UK who specialized in gold thread work. All I did was send them a colour photo and size of what I needed and about a month later it turned up.

I no longer have their name and address but I believe they made all the officers
hat badges.

We could with this info I am sure be able to get him a replacement.

Anyone any thoughts on this matter

Thanks

You could try Toye, Kenning and Spencer at:

Toye & Co » Home

They make a huge range of military badges (amongst other things).

Good luck.

Worth a letter in the local rag.

Best he gets the uniform back, next best someone finds it dumped, last tender hearted scumbag asks him to buy the badge back.
