Hello
My name is Steve L Wrightson, I'm not a serving member of the Royal Air Force, but have spent of all of my childhood & teenage years moving from base to base with my family, as my father has just retired from the Royal Air Force with over 35 years of service. We have lived around such stations as RAF Cottesmore, RAF Hullavington, RAF Machrihanish, RAF Boscome Down, RAF Kinloss & lastly RAF Leuchars. When my father cleared his office workplace from Leuchars he brought home with him a signed squardron print of TTTE torando signed by the Senior German Officer, Senior Italian Officer & Officer Commanding of TTTE RAF Cottesmore during his posting to RAF Cottesmore from 1981-1983. Aswell as the signed squadron print he also has the enamled metal TTTE crest pin badge. I would very much like take the signed print & the pin badge to be professionally mounted, framed & glazed to turn these items into an attractive wall display; as a piece of my fathers RAF history; however I have been searching high & low for a pair of TTTE embroided crest patches "E TRIBUS TORNADO" to be framed left & right of the print, but with no success. May I please ask if any member knows of a vintage RAF patch supplier/seller who would be able to locate or stock a pair of these patches for sale, then it would be greatly appreciated? I remember as little boy having my coat sewn with several RAF patches by my mum; one of whch was a TTTE embroided crest, so to be able to source the patches will not only be a wonderful way to frame memories from my fathers RAF career, but memorie as an RAF child as well. Thank you all for your time.
