lowlevelRAF's Collection

Post by lowlevelRAF » Wed May 29, 2019 8:54 am

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

Image

RAF Tornado F3

Image

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

Image

RAF/RN Harrier Force

Image

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

Image

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

Image

RAF Hawk

Image

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

Image

Fly Navy! 736 NAS.

Image

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

Image

RAAF

Image

Various other patches

Image

I'll try to add any further additions!

Matt :)

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

Latest additions!

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

Image

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

Image

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 :halo:

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.

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 :)

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.
Image

Some older RAF patches from previous types.
Image

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

More USAFE patches
Image

Hawk T2 and Tucano RN Student patch
Image

RAF Harrier force collection growing
Image

More for the Typhoon force
Image

RAF Tornado force has some new additions as well
Image

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

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

Matt :)
