Today I took a gamble,

 

 

Wings of any period are not my specialty so I took the risk as it was dirt cheap.

Did I do the right thing or will I be posting this in the fake wings section ?

 

I know nothing about wings so im intrigued to find out what I have found.

Not fake whatsoever, but definately post WWII, probably 1960's vintage.

I know, im going back to get the other one.

 

 

When did they start using these wings? I have not come across this type before.

What was the criteria you had to meet to earn them?

 

 

Apparently these have come out of Mildenhall airbase over here in the UK.

......Or Lakenheath, Woodbridge, Bentwaters, Alconbury, Sculthorpe, Fairford, Upper Heyford, to name a few, hehehehe....

 

I really miss Norfolk. After being based at Mildenhall for 7 years, I am trully homesick for good ol'e blighty. I still have a good friend living in West Runton....
