Hi Tonomachi   The Glider pilot regt officially ceased to exist with the new Army Air Corps c 1954/55 below is from Oliver Locke's book British Airborne Insignia.   2nd Pilots wings were authorized from August 1944.   I think most of your image set of 5 are Late WWII-Post WWII era   Your second image looks late WWII.   I recently purchased a set of ATC Glider pilot wings used by the RAF from the 1960s-70s   Have posted on BBF  https://britishbadgeforum.com/forums/forums/royal-flying-corps-and-royal-air-force.7/   cheeers   Phill    

Here's one, unit IDed, Gebirgs Nachrichten-Abteilung 67 formed from österreichisches Telegraphen-Bataillon 6 Innsbruck, Signals Battalion 67 is apart  of the 2nd Mountain Division, though it lacks the Edelweiss Badge on the arm.

Curious one indeed, like take the Litzen on the Cuff, which is  called a Swedish Cuff, when there is Litzen on the Cuffs, there's Litzen on the Collar, which is lacking. The Markings don't look familiar.    The B.I. or is it R.I.? If it's R.I. 101, Regiment Infantrie 101??? That would make it a Saxon unit, and this isn't a Saxon Tunic for sure.

The Tricolor Shield/ 17th Infantry Regiment, 17. (Preuß.-Braunschw.) Infanterie-Regiment/Infanterie-Regiment Braunschweig. Prior to  the introduction of the Tricolor Shield ne would of been wearing the Brunswick Shield .

Really late to the game sorry, but the naming format makes this medal awarded to a black (C= Colored) South African.  There used to be a woman who researched these medals.  Not sure she is still around.   -Ski

Oooh, nice mini set!   -Ski

There is some information on 860 Sq NAS on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/860_Naval_Air_Squadron   The article gives 2 locations till December 1943; RNAS Donibristle in Scotland and Maydown in Northern-Ireland so that might give some direction in your search. I would try to find out if there are Historical associations in those areas/counties, and contact those with the information you have along with the photo. Those buildings might very well still exist.   Also, maybe consider asking on the Historic Military Vehicle Forum. While mostly vehicle-related, most members are from Great Britain and you never know if they might have any information for you. See the 'Reseach Centre'-section of https://hmvf.co.uk/    

Here's the Pre War Blue Uniform one, a White Strap,  White being the Corps Color the regiment was in, the XVIII Corps. We see on the Field Grey one and this White one the Roman Number II, this being for Kaiser Wilhelm II, so the regiment no doubt gets its royal title sometime after 1888, the year he began his reign.
