Real nice patches .... the 527th TFTAS out of Alconbury was my favourite USAFE patch when I was actively collecting patches. Have a ton of patches which I'm now forced to "liquidate", but it was fun while it lasted.
Happy collecting,
cheers

I'm always interested in a trade as i have still plenty of traders, my main interest is european air force unit patches.

Hi all
Im new to FC and thought you may be interested in my patch collection which I have been putting together since the early 70s Started with everything but have thinned it down to just USN/USMC/USCG and have over7500 of them :blush: If anyone is interested there are a couple of pages of trade patches and a few photos I have taken over the same period
Hope you enjoy looking at my collection

Went "shopping" again at Waddington :lol:

Image

While at Waddington on Sunday. I heard one of the servicemen manning the No.56(R) Sqn stall that they are disbanding again? :'(

Looked everywhere for a Thunderbirds stall but didn't see one? :S

Finally.. No.41(R)Sqn have apparently changed their name and are now No.41(R)TES, after chatting to the people manning their stall at Waddington

ALL weekend we were asked if we knew where their stall was but everyone that we asked said there wasn't one :(
We had made some Thunderbirds stuff and imported some stuff from the USA but it sold out fairly quick - the few patches we had were sold out quickly and the mugs and prints too! All I have left are these

I will have what's left at RIAT!
