Cheers! As I said there were so many for sale, never seen so much! It seemed virtually every squadron attending had loads to sell!

The Dutch patches were 10 euros each :blush: ...but I thought hay-ho, get 'em why I can!!!....they gave me one for free as I was such a good customer :thumbs:

Roll-on on RIAT!!!!! :lol:

Nice haul from Florennes. I am hoping to get the Ramex Delta patches and the 350 Sqn heritage patch at RIAT. I heard the Ramex Delta patches were 15-25 euros each depending on which one. And I have heard about the prices at Florennes and judging on what I saw last year at RIAT and this year at Cosford if patches were 10 Euros over there they will be 10£ over here. It truly is getting out of hand these days. This hobby is getting a lot less fun and more expensive but I'm not giving up yet. I will post my pics from the haul at Cosford but as I said before there wasn't much on offer.

Yes the Ramex patches in my photo were 15 euros each :O , very steep considering their size, they had a lot more really nice ones but at those prices... :unsure:

:( As Todd said the price is getting out of control :grr:

The new 7th SOS patch looks pretty good, someone has it listed on Ebay. I'll be hunting it out at RIAT :lol:

Yes the 7th SOS were selling at Duxford American Air Show. Unfortunately they sold out in the first hour. I got there about 10 min too late but luckily a good buddy of mine got me one. They only brought 40 and sold them for 5£ each. They haven't been corrupted by the Lakenheath effect yet! Anyway here is the Cosford haul. Like I said there wasn't much on offer.

Nice selection Todd, especially the Belgian stuff. Shame the Belgian Alouette III crew weren't selling. Been after one of their patches for a while, but every time they appear online they go for a premium

Here's my haul from Yeovilton. Wanted a Polish Bryza patch but they wanted £15 which I couldn't stomach.

Nice pickups Ben. And yes the Polish M28 guys were charging those prices last year at RIAT. They had a lot on the table as they were not selling many. You would think they would understand that they would make more money if they sold more patches at a lower price!

Unfortunately Squadron Prints are sold out, they might get some more of them if the F-35 squadron return any
