Just to complete the loop if i may, here are some photos of said tunic, which I am very happy with, thank you very much Paul for your very helpful information, it is much appreciated. I’m happy the Flight Engineers wing is original to the tunic, the rank is about right after promotion, the is evidence of black cotton between the wing and pocket indicating at sometime there was medal ribbons. The tailors label is original as is the ink writing.

Bearing all this in mind and the fact that it came from ‘someone with no interest’ I would imagine that this officer dropped the George, and refured to himself as David……..?
Anyway all this is too much of a coincidence not to be the uniform of George David Wallace Hodgson DFC.

Thank you
