Wow, a very nice collection. I especially like the Nimrod ones and the Spanish Air Force Hercules ones. The Mali one is definitely high on my want list. If you ever want to do some trading I have quite a few traders and have been collecting for 25 years. I particularly like to collect C-130, RAF, display teams, USAF bomber, A-10 and a few others.

In answer to the above questions - the Portuguese patches I picked up at various airshows, Portuguese patches seem to be hard to come by!

The Airwolf patch is from the Frigate F213 'Augsburg' ships flight during one of its OEF deployments. If you scroll up you will see some other Ship's flight patches.

Have a good Christmas everyone. I'll post some more patches in the New Year!

James
