British (Airborne) Parachute Qualification Wing - Uniform Removed

A very nice example of a British (Airborne) Parachute Qualification Wing. In uniform removed condition. The parachute qualification wing was introduced in early 1941 for everyone who had passed the Parachute Training school located at Ringway near Manchester Airport. These wings came in all different shapes and sizes. The parachute qualification wing was issued after the soldier had qualified for them after 8 jumps. 2 from a balloon and 6 from a aircraft. This wing is in a nicely issued condition.
