48th Patch buying

Hello all,
I was wondering if there are any other ways of buying patches from the 48th other than their airshow appearances. I have for a while wanted to get their "Reaper Eagle Driver" patch but I haven't had any luck.
I am assuming probably not, but any tips would be appreciated!I have been avoiding E-bay as I have seen patches go for more money than I care for!
Many thanks,
Ben.

Are you talking about the rubber patch?

The first 'Reaper Eagle Driver' was a full embroidered patch and not rubber. I'll check to see if I have one, I'm sure that there's lots out there for you.

I am just looking for the fabric embroidered one. I think it is the latest one that is black with gold writing! I have yet to find one online, and at RIAT they were all out!
The rubber ones are cool however!

Yes would also love to get one of those badges. A shame they are not available from a supplier somewhere!

Hello,
Don't mean to seem dim, but what is Quizzmos? I couldn't find anything after a google other than he is the author of a book I would quite like!

Ah thank you! Sadly not the patch I am after, but I am thinking about picking up the 492d world series one!
Many thanks for the link!

That'd be great if you don't mind! It is the one pictured above, the standard grey reaper Eagle driver. I hope you enjoy the base tour, went on one in 2014 and it was fantastic. Shown around the 493rd building, impressed by how welcoming they were and how much we got to see.
