I hope the mods don't get upset. But if you are interested there is an interesting RAF Ferry Command lapel wing for sale.

I have no vested interest in this, one way or the other. But maybe someone is interested.

I was doing a search for another type of wing and came across this thread - very informative as usual. I recently picked up this small Ferry Command wing from eBay for my collection, so thought I'd share it here as well. As has been stated before, the detail and craftsmanship of these wings are amazing.

I also want to add that David Hill wrote and excellent article on FC/TC/45ATG wings and insignia in the ASMIC Trading Post, issue Oct-Dec 2023.
