Hi all,

This may be a long shot but I'm wondering if anyone happens to have a clear description, or better yet an illustration, of No. 122 Wing's crest? All I have seen so far is a small and very grainy example on two post war photos of W/C Mackie's Tempest.

Regards,

HB
 
Do you mean the emblem on the Mackie's Tempest? It is said it was not the No. 122 Wing's crest but the no. 80 Squadron "Bell" badge though.

Anyway ...

the Special Hobby decal sheet no. SH32052 presents the one ...

The Eduard offers a such one ...

Thank you Wurger!
Those two photos you posted are indeed the two that I've seen, although the source (RNZAF museum) claims it's the 122 Wing badge and I'm inclined to agree with them. Thank you very much for the links :)
 
My pleasure. Also I incline to the 122 Wing emblem. If it was the no. 80 Squadron "Bell" , the middle part of the emblem would be of the different shape rather.
