Pale blue cotton scarf with hand embroidered RAF King's crown pilot wing to one end. Tasselled ends. Approximately 114 x 21cm. Typical of those made by wives and girlfriends of fighter pilot airmen using commerically available patterns and worn to help prevent neck chafing during combat manoeuvres. Peppered with spot/fade marking and a bit crumpled but in reasonably good overall condition. A press would improve the appearance further. This originated from the dealer Michael Young in the early 80s. The vast majority of his stock was sourced directly from veterans. Stock code U-HSF.
