Medal group with picture and citation

Hi DaveC

The way I've seen the medals displayed to good effect was get them mounted on a bar and the frame them with a picture, unit badges underneath this,medals and then a name tag or plaque -makes an effective display will try and see if I have a picture of one of the groups I've done

Hi

Shorters navy records are available from docs online

Name Shorter, Abram EarleOfficial Number: F7380Place of Birth: Tonbridge, Kent16 June 1895Perce

Hi

The snag is there are no or few RAF records online-all the RAF records for WW1 are held @ the museum in Hendon or in Kew

I can tell you when he joined roughly from one of my books @ home

Cheers

Hi Dan

It looks like a cast badge the pressed ones are a lot smoother on the back and a bit thinner so probably made in india or one of the overseas postings as (a) a replacement or (b) a copy -if you want to do a trade or sell it give me a shout as I collect RAF stuff( have been in it for 20 years)

Cheers

Hi Paul

Badge with the circles belongs to a RAF para training unit- it came off a set of para jump overalls

Perce

Hi Vince

Hi Gordon

Cheers

Perce

Hi

Had a look through and cant find his name here is the Wikipedia lists of RK winners

Hi Gordon

Try this site for size

http://www.petergh.f2s.com/flashes.html

The para badges looks like an early one - very nice to see one in the flesh. If it's a good one its going to be expensive

Normally div/brigade patches are?8-?10 but for certain ones ie beach landing units and other desirable ones it can be a lot more

Cheers

Perce

and finally one of my favourites

Hi

Here's a bit more about the shakelton crash. Did some research on it when I worked at St Mawgan and lived at St Eval

Date:11 JAN 1955Time:ca 21:00Type:Avro Shackleton MR.2Operator:Royal Air Force - RAFRegistration:WG531C/n / msn:First flight:1952-08-21 Crew:Fatalities: 9 / Occupants: 9Passengers:Fatalities: 0 / Occupants: 0Total:Fatalities: 9 / Occupants: 9 Collision casualties:Fatalities: 9Airplane damage:Written offAirplane fate:Written off (damaged beyond repair)Location:S off Fastnet Rock, Ireland (Atlantic Ocean) Phase:En route (ENR)Nature:MilitaryDeparture airport:St Eval RAF Station, United KingdomDestination airport:St Eval RAF Station, United Kingdom

Two Avro Shackleton planes (WG531 and WL743) of RAF No. 42 Squadron departed RAF St Eval on a routine exercise off the Fastnet Rock, off Ireland.

The two aircraft left St Eval at 10:14 and 10:20 respectively to carry out a 15 hour patrol and search exercise. Although they left with just six minutes separation, radio messages were received indicating that the two captains had adjusted their separation and that up to 20:00 that night were flying at the prescribed 85 miles distance from one another.

From 20:58 all contact was lost. Both aircraft were missing and never found despite a three-day search. It is assumed that both aircraft collided.

More than 11 years later when the starboard outer engine of WL743 was trawled up off the southwest Irish coast, about 75 miles north of the assumed collision point.

Hi Guys

All the badges in the picture apart from one(a war brother co-operation badge ) still present and correct-anyone interested in a bit of trading?

Cheers

Perce :cheers:

Hi

Didn't put this in the Sales section as technically they're not for sale but up for trade and I thought under the rules of the Sale section I had to put prices on them

If I am being a biff and they can go in another section how do I move them?

Cheers

Perce

Hi Guys

I dont collect East German-but have these bits sitting around in my swaps box -want to do a trade for just about anything German WW2 or british or well anything aslong as the badges go to a good home-only thing not for trade is the South African medal thats there for scale

Piccies below -you'll have to tell me what the badges are as I haven't a clue

Perce

Hi
