493rd were selling their new Arctic Challenge patch at the Mildenhall patch meet a couple of weekends back. They were asking for £20 a patch :S

Thanks, that's not 493rd best effort :lol: Sadly people seem willing to pay a lot of money for LN stuff, so the squadrons aren't going to lower the prices anytime soon. Same with the 7th SOS

493rd patches, I asked for two one for my collection and one for my son's, v. quickly back tracked with the £40 required so bought one which you can see to the left. The 493rd patch stock seemed quite low and the seller confirmed this with no red flag patches. The 3 squadrons attended and it was much appreciated. Only bought two badges this time.

If I've read your post correct, they are charging £40 each? :O Extreme even for the LN lot.

They were £20 each for the patch from 493rd (XWP29 was after 2 originally), but a couple others i picked up at the meet from 492nd were £10 each and PVC :thumb:

One of the LN arctic challenge patches has just sold on ebay for £34.
