    : The first image shows HM wearing the brooch
    : presented to her by the British Overseas
    : Airways Corporation (BOAC) when she launched
    : a plane "Elizabeth of England".
    : Accoprding to Field p. 34 HM wore the
    : brooch/badge of their emblem for some years
    : whenever she flew from London Airport.
    :
    : Below is a photo of her wearing the same
    : ensemble as in the first photo plus the
    : brooch. HM is leaving from London Airport to
    : meet the Duke in Malta, 20 November 1949.
    :
    :
    : Unfortunately, the only other photos I could
    : find of HM corresponding to the second photo
    : are too indistinct for me to gauge what she
    : is wearing. The photo was taken during her
    : honeymoon in 1947.

    : Perhaps you will be able to find other
    : photos.
