The Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (NAAFI /ˈnæfiː/) is an organisation created by the British government in 1921 to run recreational establishments needed by the British Armed Forces, and to sell goods to servicemen and their families. It runs clubs, bars, shops, supermarkets, launderettes, restaurants, cafés and other facilities on most British military bases and also canteens on board Royal Navy ships. Commissioned officers are not usually supposed to use the NAAFI clubs and bars, since their messes provide these facilities and their entry, except on official business, is considered to be an intrusion into junior ranks' private lives.

Ah alla fine te lo sei aggiudicato tu...  ;)

 

Molto interessante e se ne vedono pochi. Chissà in che anni sono stati usati...

Mi rispondo da solo, dovrebbe essere anni '70. Pensavo anni '50 visto il valore nominale irrisorio.

 

"Nel corso del 1970 la CAF [Canadian Air Force] lasciò Decimomannu e fu sostituita dalla Royal Air Force Britannica (RAF)."

these 10 Lire NAAFI tokens were used by RAF personnel stationed at the Decimomannu Air Base in Italy during the 1970s to 1980s.
