Thank you for sharing.
Then there's this also:
Embroidered Pilot-sleeve badge with 8 Front stripes WWI
Pilot King Albert Officers wing that was used in 1918 with both the right and left collars made in sterling silver with a 24k Gold plate.
Here's a good website about this subject: http://users.skynet.be/Belgian.militaria/pilot.htm
Very smart they are too Bilbo.

Another nice find. I am looking for R.F.C. collar badges to go with the cap badge and Lt Cols shoulder badges I've just aquired. Then i wondered if it should be the Regimental collar badge rather than an R.F.C. one so I did nothing about it. Curses foiled again.

there is a heap of stuff available on Ebay.
Just do a search for Royal Flying Corps Badges & you should find something.
Incidentally many RFC Officers tended to keep their original Unit badges on Uniform & Cap.
See pic of Capt Willie Fry attached.
Now that is deja vu Barry. I was looking at that very picture about half an hour ago, trying to make out the badge. Until then I didn't know that the cap badge was often also kept. So I guess that I'm now looking for a pair of Sherwood Foresters' shoulder badges.
