RAF Pattern Buttons
London, Hangar One Aircraft & Exhibits
The buttons of the original 1918 pattern RAF Officer's uniform retained the roped border found on the buttons of the Royal Naval Air Service uniform. When the blue grey colour of dress was introduced in 1919 the buttons were simplified, losing the rope motif.
The St Edward's Crown replaced the Tudor after the accession of Queen Elizabeth II and at a later date the material changed from brass to Staybrite.
