Default What do I have?

Can someone tell me where and when this machine was made, and exactly what machine this is? Just having a hard time figuring this out. The serial number is EG141561 the last 1 is smaller and more bolder that the others. Thanks

We know right off the bat it was made in '50 or '51 since it has the Centennial badge.

The indicates it was made in Scotland. I can't get to my files to get the correct spelling so I'll just say that.

Nice machine by the way.

K = Kilbowie, Scotland. Looks like a 15-90...did it come with a kneebar? Pretty machine with RAF (Royal Air Force) decals...

She belonged to the Mother of a friend of mine, she could no longer see so therefore could not sew. My friend never learned to sew and had no desire to learn, thats where I came in.... I'm very interested in the info on these decals from the RAF what can you tell me about this.
