Capt. John Strode Amore !
Wing Number 325 falling into the Cichociemni /SOE set of numbers.
And this wing holds some interest technically !
This is one of the wings sent out to italy for issue !
The wing is a Gr-Tech type, .. but possibly in it's haste to be issued, it has Kirkwood style numbers.
I know that there was a technical mix up with some of the wings sent to Italy going astray, which also caused a mix up in wings being re-numbered ...
Possibly this wing was from the secondary batch that were resent to cover the missing consignment ?

Mark,
That price was a real shocker to me as well !!!!
Most my wings were sourced around 7 or 8 years back, .. and even then the competition was fierce !!
