Nope they didn't have one, they did have a centenary challenge coin though and tshirts etc. Was chatting with the people they had on the stall at RIAT and they didn't know why no patch

Recent acquisitions from a base visit to the 351st ARS. All straight off a lovely young airman. I try to get patches from actual aircrew (obviously still paying). Nothing too special but nice to get all the same

:thumb: There seems to be a couple of versions of the Heritage patch? Seen one with a golden border too

Did anyone get any patches from Cosford?

Gold border is the Commander's patch, it's a theme that is common in USAF patches but isn't always the border, sometimes is part of the patch that is in gold.

Believe there's three patches. The non-Commander's patch has had two runs and there is a slight variation (most notable is the shade of blue used) between them.
