My haul from RIAT

First up the Belgians

Image
Already had some of the display patches, hence the missing ones. Vador kindly sold the under the table ones too :clap: one good thing to come out of the crap weather on Friday

Image

The Belgians are the only ones intended to but, I failed so the other patches

Turkish
Image

48th FW
Image
These were bought for £10 or less, not the stupid prices on Friday

352nd SOW
Image
The second row & the flag came in one pack, I paid £30, appears the price was lowed to £25
The one with the UK outline was given away free with any purchases

Mics USAF
Image
The USAF demo team was selling at £10 Friday, then raised the price at one point to £15

Romanian & Italian
Image

French
Image

Canadian
Image

Also bought the Danish PVC patch, but for some reasons missing the picture

Hi Gary,
That's a great haul from RIAT. I love the Vader Belgian patches but unfortunately their stall was shut when I went past on Saturday morning and I forgot to go back 😡.
The 494th RIAT patch was £25 when I asked on Saturday afternoon. The American really seem to take the pee with their prices.

Nice haul Gary. I got the Vador 2019 pvc as well but not the cloth. I’m kicking myself as they had the 2018 cloth on the table when I went by the first time on Friday and got the 2019 pvc but I hesitated and went back later only for it to be gone. It was all a bit random when they put them out. Will post my haul later.

Cheers
Todd

That’s a decent haul Gary. I have some regrets now on some I looked at and decided not to buy at the time.

Hi Gary
Another great haul there, :clap: :thumb:
Just a word about the Danish Merlin crew, who were selling 4 decent patches for £15 and my haul from the Turkish phantoms crew where I got their baseball cap 8 very nice patches and a key fob for £55 :Wow: :Wow: . Also ,even though more expensive I couldn't get over how much the Ukrainian crew bought with them :thumb: I did only get 5 of theirs :D

Sadly couldn't get to Sanicole this year. Ashley kindly picked me the following patches up. From a limited selection at the show :O

Image

There should be more patches I've bought recently. I'm so far behind logging them and can't remember which others :lol:

Long time since I updated this thread. With all the doom and gloom about at the moment. I received this this morning to bright my day up

349 recently completed their stint on BAP duties, the Belgians did back to back deployments with the Stingers being out their first

Also 349 & 350 went to Greece for an exercise just before Xmas 2019

Image

Waiting on a packed from 20 Sqn BAF too

Now to bed, I'm on a nightshift. Working in the haulage industry. We have to keep the food horders stocked up :grr: :lol:
