Hi 48MMS

 

 

Here is my 11 CAMS Patch in Subdued.

 

[48MMS]

I actually like the newer design, but have never seen a color version. I was told that was the version used at RAF Fairford. Nice patch.

Al, here is the Official Artwork for the Squadron Insignia

I order to display my "Patch Ignorance" I have a simple question: Is there any underlying significance in the colors used in a patch, and the type of unit described by the patch, i.e.: The piping on the OS Caps ?

As with all official patches they have to be approved by the command heraldry. Everything means something on each official patch and most have a liniage back to other squadrons or bases. The colors such as blue represnet the sky etc.... The symbol usually repesents the job etc... In this case the mainenance personel thought they needed eight appendages to keep up with the work. I'm pretty sure this was not an official patch but, I am probably wrong. Hope this helped
