Thats a fantastic grouping !!!!
A couple of things to note ....
The small GQ Parachute badge is the early button back type ..
Also, He was awarded the Air Crew Europe Star ... the rarest of the British campaign stars !! (Do you have the actual medals ??)

I got all his WWII items 4-5years ago from my aunt. She has throw to the garbage his uniforms, hats …, she did not want me to take any more of the “garbage” to my condo lol. Here is same of the picture of same of the items that I have. I don’t have the Air Crew Europe Star. I will have to ask my aunt if she has any more of the medals. I know she has lots of pictures that I could get from her, and maybe post same.

The "GQ" badges were given out as souvenirs to men who had just earnt their Para wings. (British Paras got them too) It was a bit of a public relations exercise for the Company. The men would wear them or give them to sweethearts to wear and the Company got some nice advertising from them.
GQ Parachutes was established by James Gregory and Sir Raymond Quilter, their initials being used to name the Company.
Cheers, Ade.
