Hi all,

Nice to see all the different patches on here. There are some really nice ones about.

I am searching for 3 particular patches to complete my Woodbridge collection & am wondering if any of you guys could help me source them? I have tried ebay, but the ones I'm after havent yet appeared on there.

The ones I am seeking are...

67th ARRS 'K' patch "That Others May Live"
67th ARRS Angel patch.
67th ARRS 'Jolly Green'.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated. Please PM me if you can help.

Many thanks,
TankBuster
And there's plenty more where that came from!

Did anyone else see this 509th FIS patch on ebay?
My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw what it finally sold for!

In May 2000 I attended a Photocall at RAF Brize Norton, where at one of the stalls I picked up a remarkable publication titled "The Ultimate Squadron Directory" by Peter Terlouw
Image
I've found this guide an absolutely indispensible reference to USAF TAC patches, and needless to say many of the lucky punters who managed to get a copy would probably agree with me. I say "lucky", the pile of copies on that book stall had disappeared within an hour of being put on display.
Here's a typical page from it;
Image
In his forward of the book, apart from acknowledging the potential error or two, Peter Terlouw also mentioned plans to produce further publications covering the 1950 - 1999 era which would include SAC.
Does anyone know if he did follow this up?

Picked up a nice Sundowners Patch and a VF-124 Gunslingers one off e-bay recently. :)

I'll post a picture when time allows. :)

Anyone got any F-14 aircraft or F-14 Sqn patches they don't want?

Rarer than hen's teeth I'm afraid Goose, it was ten years ago when this publication came out.

If you're interested in old USN patches check this one out http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 3637wt_930" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Cheers, MarkL ;)
