Knife 04's Collection of Stuff - Update - 08/03/17
Or as the wife calls it - clutter!
Like Gary and GMC, I thought I would start my own thread for bits I have collected over the years - not just patches and coins but will try to include as much of the memorabilia I have picked up over the years and now on display in the study
Will add to as and when I get around to scanning, taking shots of - hope you find of some interest
First up - 56th RQS
Managed to get myself one of the coins recently
Merged by Pave Flight, on Flickr
And a couple of patches including the tribute patches to 'Jolly 22'

Re: Knife 04's Collection of Stuff
Said it would include 'stuff' - don't know if anybody else (apart from my brother) still has a copy of this................................
The 77th TFS 'Gamblers' Song Book
5 by Pave Flight, on Flickr
7 by Pave Flight, on Flickr
Great book (in my opinion) - could post other pages but it would take days to blank any offensive words. Mr Kelman still features on the ops wall board in the Command Bunker at Upper Heyford

Quite a collection there! Don't suppose you're aware of the date for the next Patch Meet?
Re: Knife 04's Collection of Stuff - Update
Nice collection Darren, haven't seen many 57th RQS patches pop online, take it the squadron doesn't have many at the moment?
