Thanks mate :thumb:

Completely missed the NH-90 patches :lol: I only saw freebies on the table when I walked past :lol: Hopefully they will become RIAT regulars so another chance to get one :lol: I was tempted by the Hungarian Gripens patch too but had spent enough by that stage too :lol: thought some may have popped up on Ebay by now but haven't seen any from the RIAT attendees

Had a tour of Lakenheath yesterday which included a visit to the 493rd FS :thumb: Unfortunately most of their squadron memorbillia has been packed up ready for their TDY /DET to Norway :( Still ended up with a couple of patches

Pretty sure I have already got this one :lol:

Hi Folks,
I've been collecting for some time now & thought I'd share some of the patches I've got for the 56th RQS which are now at Lakenheath.
Firstly though they were a ARRS in Korat, Thailand for the SEA war.

Then they reactivated later in Iceland.

And finally to Lakenheath.

Found these in the loft I think the US patches are from the coronet deployments to Waddington late eighties with A7 corsairs from Iowa ANG then again could be totally wrong.

Hi All
I am a collector of militaria in general but the majority of my collection consists of patches and metal insignia and below is a selection from it. I collect American WW1 through to Vietnam on the whole,but I do have some British,German,French mixed in there from WWII and some more modern bits and pieces too:

First some patches from various eras:

I have posted this elsewhere, but thought it was more relevant here - RAF Fairford for the upcoming B-52 exercise

A couple of patches I unexpectedly picked up from the 494th FS stall at Duxford yesterday, some of the RAF squadrons could learn a lot from the Americans :lol:
