Nice haul! I like the PVC A.109 patch and the 2016 Red Devils one - haven't seen that one before.

Hi mate

Sorry completely forgot to reply, the last few years Red Devils have been releasing their leather patches. Not sure about them, they surface feels and looks like it could be easily damaged

Very nice mate. Like the 37 BS ones, got some of those myself.

Also like the IAF 2 Sqn patch - that would've been a nice addition to Phil Camp's Patches of the Indian Air Force book.

Thanks both of you :thumb:

Ollie were the 352nd SOW & 492nd FS selling any new patches? I've seen a few rubber 492nd FS patches online recently, first time I've seen them

I seem to remember the 492nd FS had a stall at Duxford in September 2015 for the BoB75 Show, bought a Squadron Sticker that day as I couldn't afford anything else.

Before anyone asks the other 1000 hour patch is already spoken for sadly

Nice haul there :thumb:. I particularly like the 67th SOS '70' patch, not seen that one before.

And there's plenty more where that came from!

Another good haul there Gary. I was hoping to get the Midnight Hawks patch but it seems they only handed them out at the FRIAT tent and not to the public. If anyone has a spare or knows how to get one please let me know. Also Tankbuster the 67th SOS 70th patch was posted before by myself and Asif on the RIAT Patch thread. This is where most of the other members have posted their haul pics.
