CW Patches

Post by reaper493 » Thu Jan 30, 2025 9:23 pm

I'm told the WAVE have the exercise patches in stock from today.

There is a Fabric and PVC patch as in previous years, a coin and a key ring.

Unsure how many they have or prices.

The PVC patches are not ready yet - 2/3 weeks lead time on them apparently.

The "Military Aviation Memorabilia" section (viewforum.php?f=352) is probably the best place to ask.

The Mildenhall and Lakenheath units are often at Duxford Airshows/Flying Days in front of the American Air Museum so that can be a good place to get patches from them, as would RIAT.

I've never been, but the Mildenhall Patch Meets held in Mildenhall Town may be a good place to go too.

I'm sure others that are far more knowledgeable on the matter will be able to offer some advice too.

The Mildenhall patch meet is the place for Lakenheath and Mildenhall unit tat. There is no guarantee the squadrons attend every meeting,but I've been to three and they were there. Also outside Mildenhall is the air gun and clay pigeon gun club. When I drove past they had a large banner at the entrance saying Valkyre merchandise sold here.

Eriswell Lodge sells Valkyries merch in the reception. There is a little cabinet with patches etc and a rail with clothing. I was there yesterday.

The Wave Burger Van is at the WAVE (Waddington Aircraft Viewing Enclosure) - just off the A15 at Waddington.

A chap from 1/4 Gascogne was/is selling at the WAVE from 11am today/tomorrow/Wednesday with various merch.

They have CW patches but they are not for sale - they only have one per person, same with the Saudis.
