Another pick up from today from the local rubbish tip
Here are a couple of new visors. One belonging to A/C Buckley RNZAF and A/C Battle RAF
What I believe may be an early or mid-war RAF officer's cap, made by Burberrys and named to A.G. Neal. Very pleased with this cap.

A recent addition to my Gieves Military Collection. A tatty WWII RAF officer's cap from Gieves Ltd saved from the dump. Nice early Gieves label, this will be a fun restoration project. The badge was taken off because I was cleaning the cap.
Hello Mgn040,
I just thought that you might like to see the attached photographs of Air Commodore Maurice William Buckley, C.B.E., MiD, Legion of Merit (US), Born Seacliff 3rd August 1895 died 1956.
Group Captain M.W. Buckley
M W Buckley Numbered 4
August 1939 RAF MArsham Buckley sitting 7th from the left
Signed photograph by the Pilots
28th August 1939 Letter to Buckley.
I sincerely hope that you do not mind me posting these for you.
Best wishes

One from my collection Named to Air chief marshal Sir Basil E Embry, awarded the GCB, KBE, DSO & Three Bars, DFC, AFC, MiD, Hope you like it
Absolute stunner! Maker?
I would think Embry ranks with Leonard Cheshire & Guy Gibson in importance and impact upon Bomber Command in WWII.
His medals sold for 155,000 pounds by Spink in 2007.
A great score.

Finally found an air ranks visor cap for a good price; not WWII vintage, but they seem to be very scarce.
An unnamed & maybe unworn cap, made by Bates. I'm thinking circa 1960's or 1970's.
