Royal
Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force Cap Badge
This is a cap badge of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force
(RHKAAF) which after the Handover of Hong Kong to China in
1997 was renamed as the Government Flying Service.
Experienced collectors will attest that this is an extremely
rare badge for a number of reasons:
- you
can hardly find any badges worn by a British auxiliary air
force unit.
- the
RHKAAF was disbanded in 1997s due to Hong Kong's Handover
from the UK to China. After 1997 the RHKAAF was re-constituted
as the Hong Kong Government Flying Service, who now wears
a different cap badge.
- the
RHKAAF was the last British and Commonwealth auxiliary air
force ever, and the disbandment of this unit marked the
complete disappearance of such type of units in the world
This badge
is made of metal and original. It is not a restrike. This
badge unfortunately has one missing lug but otherwise in great
and unissued condition.
