bronxboymike Posted January 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2010 The VXE-6 squadron patch is from the early 70's and made in a patch shop in New Zealand. The rest of the patches are from facilities at Antarctica, except the NAS North Island patch. North Island was the home base of VXE-6.

bronxboymike Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share #2 Posted January 19, 2010 These are older late 50's, early 60's squadron patches and naval ships patches that supported Antarctic operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronxboymike Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted January 19, 2010 The top picture has some of the last patches I got directly from the squadron before they disestablished. The second picture has 70's and 90's versions of the squadron patch and puckered pete. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyhistorian01 Posted January 20, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 20, 2010 Hi Mike, Thats some Antarctic unit patch collection you have. I have an older felt one, but I can't remember which one. I'll dig it out and scan it later for comparision. Those patches are hard to find and are very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronxboymike Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted January 20, 2010 Hello Rob and Teamski, Glad you guys liked them, I have had fun collecting them. I got hooked by the penguins and polar bears. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
