USAF Patches

Postby SnailRFC » Mon Aug 15, 2011 8:59 pm

Hi all,

Following on from my annual visit to Fairford and an earlier visit this year to Vegas, (where we went Dune Buggy racing next to Nellis Airbase and got buzzed by A10's and F16's and then later flew over Nellis on our way to the Grand Canyon whilst a B2 taxied) I decided I would try to purchase the patch(es) for Nellis from one of the vendor's on the airfield, however, the main guy selling them in the centre of the display line didn't have the correct ones I wanted.

Does anybody therefore know of a place here in the UK (or abroad that ships to the UK) that sell USAF patches at all. I got a sweet A10 one and a B2 Spirit of California patch, but as I have actually been to or next to and over Nellis, I thought it would be pretty cool to have on my cammo bag that I take each year.

Any help greatfully received.
Cheers
Brian

E-Bay! (US not UK...)

If it's not on there, it doesn't exist!

Plan B: Get on the Mildenhall website
and contact their BX. Tell them who
you are and what you're after and I'll
just bet they can get it for you!

OR (comma) just go to the Nellis website!

Cheaper than E-Bay, too, probably.....

Part of their mission is to maintain
good relations with the British People!

If they brush you off, let me know and
I'll send them a nasty E-mail!

Try It!

Danf.
I like to do my planning retroactively!

You could try here, not sure if they have what you want but are the best in the UK I know of and I know they produce for world wide sales.
