A Mint Tupperware Flash to TRANSKEI SPECIAL FORCES.
Here you have a chance to get one direct from the Quartermaster's Stores.
"His Comment":- A Brand New Tupperware Flash to this very interesting unit, which came into being in 1982 when a South African Recce Unit trained up a very select nucleus of the Transkei Defence Force to form their 'Special Forces'. The man wearing this Flash was almost certainly the wearer also of parachute wings.
