208(R) Sqn Centenary Patch

Posted on the 208(R) Sqn Facebook page an hour or so ago https://www.facebook.com/208Sqn/?fref=ts

Looks good, fingers crossed they become available to buy

I notice Terrane also have 16(R), 22 and 54(R) Squadron's centenary patches

I have noticed Terrane have the patch available but to me it seems like a reproduction compared to the one shared on the squadrons facebook page.

Got a message back from the squadron and they say Terrane are the original suppliers of the patch.

I think it's the lighting making the patches look different, also the stitching for the aircrew version posted by 208(R)

That inner sticthing is probably for the velcro? ;)

Hi, when looking at the Terrane patch from their site you see it has a merrowed edge versus the aircrew one having a cut edge.
Wonder why that difference especially in regard to Terrane the supplier, maybe a later run or revised issue

I fully agree on the cut edge v.s. merrowed edge, but also the details in the cockpit....etc etc!
Absolutely Interesting...
