Hello,
We just had a wing exchange on thursday with the Dutch. They only had their cloth wings for the exchange. Does anybody know where i can get the metal pin on?? Have searched everywhere. Thanks In advance.

Point of interest; as told to me by a Dutch colleague.

The reason you will have got the cloth ones is because only the cloth ones are official issue.

The KCT unofficially wear a [nice] matt silver metal wing, it is not the enamel metal wing that you see on ebay. I was told the enamel wing is for wear in civvies and by civilian jumpers.

The unofficial metal wing that the KCT wear is 8cm across. There is/was also a 7cm version attached for presentation to a red plastic card with a dutch flag on it. This smaller 7cm version is presented to people who jump with them on Arnhem Day, in my experience.
