i make it 57 years !!
That's what i thought.
But the Herc came into service in October 1966 so I guess it falls just short of the 57..

Re: Deployment Patch

Only problem ordering from BomberPatches is that now the postage is as much,if not more,than the patch.
Not their fault but the postal system.

That is a brilliant collection! Where did you get the 1 F Squadron patch for the Air Policing Iceland from last year? Do you happen to have a spare? Looking forward to hear from you.
Hi,Thanks for the comment.
I believe the patch in question came from Squadron Prints?
Sorry no spare I'm afraid.
