Hi All,

Finally got round to uploading some pictures of my growing patch collection.

Some rare ones in there, but I've tried to group them the best I can

RAF Tornado GR Force



RAF Tornado F3



RAF Typhoon Force - Not too sure if the bottom BALTOPS and Bear hunting patches are aircrew or not.



RAF/RN Harrier Force



RAF F-35 - missed my QE Carrier Trials patch, doh!



RAF Heavies & ISTAR - Old 201 Sqn crew 3 patch added.



RAF Hawk



RAF Chinook - Forgot to add my square 27 Sqn patch!



Fly Navy! 736 NAS.



US Forces - Mainly UK based USAFE, few patches from 305th RS from RIAT 18. Aggressor EA-18G patch thrown in as well.



RAAF



Various other patches



I'll try to add any further additions!

Matt

Found the two patches I missed out.

QE F-35B Trails patch and 27 Sqn aircrew patch.

Very nice collection

That's a cracking collection there Especially liking the Aussie collection Out of interest, where did you get the Aussie Poseidon and Hornet patches?

Regards
Des

Thanks both

I ended up getting both the RAAF P8 and Hornet patches off Ebay, find alot on there!

Matt

Latest additions!

Another for the Harrier 2 (AC) Sqn Op Shader and 6 Sqn Exercise ACE 2019. RAF Tucano Display patch from 72 (R) Sqn



617 Sqn First depolyment and 2x 100 Sqn patches! They are brilliant, the PVC patches are starting to grow on me now!



Then latest is my RIAT 2019 Haul. I could of come home with more, but having my wedding the weekend after, I was reminded not to buy too many this year

Nice. Just for your info - I don't think that your Hawk / 100 Sqn patch has anything to do with the Hawk (or the RAF!) It is one of those made up designs from Wayviation / 2535Wayne on E-bay. Don't take offence but he has a fine selection of fake stuff sold via E-bay and appearing in people's collections.

The two hawk aggressor patches were made by Squadron Prints and are real, not fake. 100 Sqn does aggressor training.

Great collection!

How did you get hold of the Tucano 2019 patch? I was told they weren’t available to anyone but the crew at RIAT.

Squadron Prints were selling them.

Indeed - the two PVC designs are from the unit. The patch I was referring to is the round black embroidered design in your photo, above your 208 Sqn patch / Hawk T.2 Role Demo patch.

I had suspected as much that it wasn't from the unit. It had been given to me by a friend about 5 or 6 years ago now, before I really started collecting. The recent PVC ones from Squadron Prints are brilliant

Really nice collection

Who were selling the S-92 Coastguard patch?

Brought from Squadron Prints

where did you get the 29 squadron triangle patch ( the one with the drop tanks and the red boarder) been trying to find one with no luck for my typhoon print

I got it from the Squadron Prints stand at RIAT. Not sure if they may have some on eBay?

Morning all,

Updating some newer arrivals since I last posted

Mixture of UK helicopters units and one for the Italian HH-101A that I missed getting at RIAT.


Some older RAF patches from previous types.


617 Sqn at Red Flag for the first time with the F-35B


More USAFE patches


Hawk T2 and Tucano RN Student patch


RAF Harrier force collection growing


More for the Typhoon force


RAF Tornado force has some new additions as well


Finally, I have lately focused on getting more patches for the RAF Chinook force.


I think that is all of the latest additions, I'll try not make it slow long between posts next time!
