You should find thanks throughout the posts but you are absolutely right. It has been a sharp learning curve and an awful lot of research by myself of which would not of been possible without your knowledge and guidance.

From Pete and myself a heartwarming thank you to everyone concerned.

Not a rude question at all. There was a pair of trousers with it but standard army 2 and were far too small to go with the jacket. 30 waist on the trousers and 42 chest on the jacket. £45 from an antique shop.

I have found that trying to find the right shade is nigh on impossible. My original idea was to recreate the original uniform for wearing to charity events.
I own a 1949 Packard and use this so an american uniform would be better. At the moment I'm really not sure as there appears to be some interesting provenance with this jacket. Any ideas ??? welcomed

Worry ye not they are still attached as is the ribbon. The photo of the wings was taken from the internet. Will post a proper picture later.

Thank you everyone for your input. I'm going to take the offending ribbon off as it seems to be confusing in the least.

If anyone wants it for research I'll happily post it to them.

There are no names or identification in the clothing. Just the ribbons and parachute wings stitched onto the right arm.
Pete.

I can say without doubt that the ribbon is definitely gold and green. I've even put white yellow and cream objects next to it so as to prove I'm not actually going colour blind lol
