Looking for a tie for with an AE brevet
 

I have a friend in NZ who is looking for a tie with an AE brevet on. Does anyone know of where I could track one down for him? He is willing to purchase a second-hand one if required.

Four Types

Look in the RAFA magazines. I'm sure I've seen a supplier in there who does brevet ties.

RAF Museum do them (Hendon or Cosford).

Checked with EC Snaith and the AE tie is discontinued.

RAFMuseum shop online stocks P, N, E, AG, S, B
Brigade UK has those plus O, eagles, Coastal Command.

I would suggest ebay but I can't access from work

Already had a look at e-bay - they have everything but the AE tie - perhaps it is a taste thing?

Uncalled for Wensleydale!

It's a banter thing. Bit like saying "I'd rather have another 100 kilos of fuel than {insert object of insult}" :}

or the pilot's definition of gross incompetence?

What, 144 AEs? Said the Loadie! (I look down on him...)

I would try ebay .com (US) .ca (CANADA) and the NZ and AU versions as well. I've seen thumbnail pictures from .com and .ca that look promising.

PS. No, I do not have much better to do this morning, thankyou. (just pre-empting more banter):)

I deal in military blazer badges and get all my supplies from Pakistan (as do the MOD these days). I would Google "regimental tie manufacturers Pakistan" and contact one or two of the many suppliers that come up. I'd be very surprised if one of them could not do you a one-off tie at no great cost - all they have to do is modify any of the other patterns with the single brevet. May cost you a bit more, but probably no more than a fancy outfitter in the UK would charge you.

good effort...

wrong brevet:(

Custom Ties
 

This outfit offer a 'custom' service minimum order TEN at £9.68 each, don't know about 'set up' charges

But too easy! I didn't see a WSO/WSOp tie on e-bay either! I suppose that it is a bit like watching certain web sites on the internet.... its alright when you are actually doing it but if your friends catch you, then.......

Wenslydale:

No AE brevets because the minimum bid is £0.99!!!

Wasaloadie:)

Don't buy second hand - it'll be covered in food. Oh no! that's the AEO tie ;)

I heard most AE's sent them back


they were too tight

Seems they have been discontinued...

I got one from the shop at the IWM Duxford. Give them a bell. They may still do them.
