Here's a bunch of NATO Tiger Meet 2014 patches I obtained last week at Schleswig during the first Spotter Day. These are not all of them, just a "teaser" for now as I'm short on time at present.

I'm quite happy with what I got but I'm still missing some (EC 1/7 Provence French AF NTM 2014, 31 Tiger Sqdn Belgian AF NTM 2014) plus quite a few from previous meets. I do have some NTM patches for trade and rather prefer to trade than to sell them on ebay, as this would only help my wallet but not my collection. If interested in trading please PM me and we'll take it from there.

Gary,

the participating units set up sale tables in a large common tent and it was a bee hive there.... so "us" mortals didn't get really close to any crews on flying duty that day but it was still nice. During the Friday night party the 814 NAS lads & ladies sure knew how to party :whistle:

In addition to their special NTM 2014 patches, most units also sold their regular sqdn/wing patches and many other souvenir items, ranging from scarfs to ladies undies :roll:

@ all - the Flying Squadron 1 NATO AWACS, the 192 Filo Turkish AF and the Ausbildungsstaffel Austrian Air Force did not have a special NTM 2014 patch. None were made or didn't make it off the drawing board for whatever reasons. So, no need to look for any of those as there aren't any and if you see such patches, they are certainly fakes!

Cheers

Andy

My haul from Waddington airshow

Image

The VIII Squadron centenary patch was hot off the press apparently not all the squadron crews have got them yet :lol: :cool:

Slightly disappointed with the lack of people selling at a fantastic show, didn't see the Danish, Germans or Turkish flogging anything. Hardly any RAF /RN either. Whether it was because I went in to the show on Sunday and the crews had enjoyed the hangar party a little too much :whistle: :lol: Would be interested to know from someone who went in on Saturday

The Danish were definitely in the market as I got one. There was a choice too. I will post a pic later in the week. The Texan II boys were also forthcoming!

My haul from a little show called RIAT :whistle:

Spanish CASA / F-18 & Greek A-7
Image
The Greek one in the bag is a 'limited addition' number 99 of 100

Dutch F-16 & German P-3
Image

US & Japanese
Image
So happy finally got a Japanese patch :clap: Appears to be a wing patch rather than a squadron patch. The P-8A crew said they were out of patches by 09.10 on Saturday. Did anyone get one after that?

Next stop Kleine Brogel :whistle:

Jeb

It's available via the Bavarian Tigers website http://www.bavariantigers.com/shop/ not used the website so can't say what it's like. Also worth keeping you're eye on http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/patchmafia for all thing German

Unfortunately the Bavarian Tigers Typhoon patch is no longer available as it is sold out. The status "leider ausverkauft" translates into "unfortunately sold out". However it seemed to have been actually cheaper online than during the NTM... apart from the French stuff, the Bavarian Tigers patches were the most expensive ones sold there...
One word of advice in regard to the ebay seller mentioned in the second link... watch out... (more via PM - don't want to run into troubles here).
Cheers
