    Hi

    I think it may be a Fleet Air Arm (air wing of the Royal Navy) pilot's tie. Army Air Corps and Glider Pilot Regiment badge is an eagle.

    All the best

      Pretty sure this is a GPRA members tie.

      I got the maroon version last year.

          It shows the army flying badge which was worn by first glider pilots and royal artillery air observation posts. FAA had a different qualification badge.
