I don’t suppose anyone’s got one (or even a couple:)) of these patches they’d part with have they?
I can guarantee it’d be going to a good home!
(Not my photo, but the best one I could find on t’interweb)
Cheers 😀

Thanks to XH648 I now have the above patch set 😀 sorry to still be on the scrounge but I know 2/3 others of our team would like the black and yellow 55 patch. So if anyone still has any spare…?

Sadly not a book I have on my shelf Barrie. I’ll keep an eye out for it next weekend though. That said, is a badge that’s been flown in ‘191 a jinx, and therefore best not taken anywhere near our ‘231?! 😮
I like the sound of ‘recycling’ the Swordfish light though! Like the Lanc starter button in my MG…

I have a 55 Sq. cloth patch that was flown on Victor XL191 to Shearwater Naval Air Station in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada for the 1985 airshow.
Will trade for the book Achtung! Swordfish! I have a piece of fabric, map light and other bits from one of the Swordfish that were maintained here in WW II for the Merchant Aircraft Carriers and figure it is time I got the book on 836 Squadron. I plan to use the map light as a chart light on my sailboat but have not got around to hooking (Pun intended.) it up yet.

Cool, I still have many Terrane mugs going back to the Finningley airshow days still gracing my kitchen cupboard! would you possibly consider letting me re-home said badge? 🙂
Let me see what I’ve got first:)

I may have one (or two!) – My parents own terrane limited and I’m sure I kept a couple of them when they first came out. I only have a hand full of badges but I’m sure I kept one of the 55sqn ones because it was one of the few patches they made with a Victor on it!
By: Blue_2 - 3rd March 2011 at 19:27
Sven would know better than me about the costs, he organised the batch of Lindy patches we had made up recently (which we’re down to the last few of now!). I may have to part with some folding for one of those pics…! 🙂
By: lighty - 3rd March 2011 at 19:17
How big an order would have to be put in before they would make a batch up?
might be worth getting some to sell to visitors to raise a few green backs 🙂
ps that print is good init 😀
By: Blue_2 - 3rd March 2011 at 19:10
Cheers Lighty, I emailed them about that particular patch design, and sadly the response was negative. Hey ho 🙁 and that caricature does look good 😀
By: lighty - 3rd March 2011 at 19:06
Hey Blue 2, try the terrane limited site, they have that design as a sticker really cheap and 55 sqn patches as well, also check out caricature aircraft pictures site, they have a great Victor print you mihght be interested in.
By: Blue_2 - 3rd March 2011 at 19:02
Not enough to have a batch made up I doubt, I’d very much like one for myself and I think 3 others including Sven would like one if possible. Robert cheers, I’ll have a trawl through that website tomorrow when I strike up the laptop again 🙂
By: Robert Hilton - 3rd March 2011 at 18:56
You could always have a trawl through here and order your own.

So how many are you looking for?
By: Blue_2 - 3rd March 2011 at 17:41
OK basically most of us on the Victor team would like them it seems!!!
So if anyone’s got any lying around… 😀
By: Sven - 3rd March 2011 at 16:57
Checked, cheers Tony. One back.
If anyone has these there’s a few of us on the 231 crew would really like one 🙂
Don’t suppose you could add one more to that?
