Thanks - I do have that one. It's just the Grey backgrounds that I need :-)

See, that's me being a newbie to patch collecting, I had no idea that patches could have different backgrounds.
Thank you for your post, I have learnt from it :thumb:

There were a number of colour variations - no idea why.

I believe they were available to purchase at the 1991 Fairford airshow, following the Gulf War. Some colours are harder to find than others!

I'm holding out for these last 2 before I create a frame with patches representing the 806th BMW at Fairford.
