Luther's post on Captains of the clouds got me thinking. I got given my Granddads service medals and badges last month, some of them were Canadian. Cap and BA wing, in mint condition too, I guess they were issued but never worn. They would have been replaced once he got to the UK with RAF and/or RNZAF badges. I also have his RAF BA wing and it is far from pristine.
Was this normal practice? Or am I guessing up the wrong tree?

Yup mate, thats me. Been looking through all the pics there. I'm trying to find reference to a commonwealth air training scheme museum that exists in Canada. It cropped up a while ago and had the possibility of training records. Have you seen this?
