Dear Listers The answer is found- thanks to Allan Roderick who directed me to Bob Schwartz 's site Aviation Wings and Badges of World War II http://www.ww2wings.com/main.shtml. My uncle was indeed with 156 Sqd ,a Pathfinder who wore wings. Scans of these can be clearly seen on Bob's site and correspond with the blurry image visible on our enlarged photo Thanks for all the help MK
