Kadet Posted January 29, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2015 Curious what the thoughts are on this patch. Not too much doubt in my mind that it is original, but is it British-made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doinworkinvans Posted January 29, 2015 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2015 Good jacket, good patch, I would assume british myself as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadet Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks...yes it researches out to be a pretty historically important item IMO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
501stGeronimo Posted January 29, 2015 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2015 Nic a2, saw it on ebay and was going to bid on it but decided not to as more blue backs came along, and possibly one on a a2. Definate brit made patch. IMO every uniform or flight jacket is historically significant as it all played roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wk4045 Posted December 28, 2021 Share #8 Posted December 28, 2021 Hello is this 510th bombardment squadron patch an authentic one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted December 28, 2021 Share #9 Posted December 28, 2021 This is the 510th Strategic Missile Squadron (ICBM-Minuteman). It traces its history to the 510th BMS. They later changer the design to something more missile like in the mid 1970s. It is a good patch, just missile related, not bomber. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
