RAAF Egg Cups

[Rick W]

They'd be Canberra one's no?

I'm unsure Rene , they are Army issue and post 76 WO1 coat of arms emblem.
I had to buy a "lot" and that included some saucers which are smaller in diameter than a normal army coffee cup saucer .

Nice score Rick. Post '73, blue Other Ranks (junior ranks) mess items, mostly Army. Dated 1980. Bristile seems to have been the main supplier in the 70's and 80's. If you ever see normal rising sun mug's then please grab me one and I will do you a trade.

I will keep an eye out for the cups/mugs you want mate.
Ive got 4 leftover Egg Cups & Saucers same as above post if anyone wants any.
I only wanted 2 of each but had to buy 6 as a lot .
Cheers Rick

Been a while since I bought any new egg cup items or kitchenware.
Covid seemed to make me feel like I lost a year outta my life .
Anyway , Im excited I scored this RAAF Egg Cup from Canada.
It's a different piece from what I have ever seen before , I will have to wait until it arrives for a full assessment .
Its has Red crest markings instead of the normal RAAF Black or WAAAF Pink .
Made in England though no manufacturer marks.
Canada was part of the Empire Air Training Scheme - Training pilots from all over the Commonwealth during WW2.
Maybe it has something to do with that ?
Cheers Rick
