Established in 1942 the Glider Pilot Regiment was responsible for crewing the British Army's military gliders that saw  action in the European campaign during WW2. Above is a picture of WW2 Glider Pilot Regiment cloth wings. This badge is stitched in silk on black cloth. Sorry don't have picture of reverse yet, but on an original you should be able to see the stitching.


Below are pictures of two different WW2 Glider Pilot Regiment shoulder titles.
