The SAAF Forum

Hi,

If you've got any original SAAF flight suit patches from any squadron that you're willing to donate of sell, please let me know. I'm trying to put a collection together but these items seem to be very hard to find.

Cheers

Yeah, me too!

Can I also join the this club please

Hello all..I am also looking to obtain 24SQN SAAF BUCCANEER Crest and crew patches.

XV867.

Put me on the list.

On Tuesday when I was at the (FASH) flying club for dinner, I saw a guy there with a Royal Nederlands Airforce patch. It also said "F-16" at the bottom. My dad says he thinks that the guy's South African though, so it's probably just collectors stuff.

But yeah, I'm looking to make a collection of patches.

I do have a spare used 19 Sqn badge to swop.

It is still in good condition just the colours are faded from being washed. It was used on the Border.

I would put a photo of it here but have not managed to do so

Anyone who wants a photo, please just send me a pm containing your email and I will send it to you.

I'd love to swop, but all I have is a Gripen hat and badge, and a Berlin cap and Hamburg badge. All are pretty much new (Gripen cap and badge I got in '06 at their release). But yeah, I don't have anything to swop.

Motto is By Night / By Day

24 Sqn was a bomber Sqn in WWII when motto was created.

Badge can clearly be seen on most photo's of 24 Sqn Bostons A-20 and Marauder B-26

I've read about 24sqn... Weren't they one of the desert squadrons?

24 Sqn was part of the Western Desert Air Force and then moved on to Italy.

Flew Marylands, then Bostons and finally Marauders B-26

I have a pilots log book from this era a Lt E.L Baylis and my uncle served as ground crew from the begining of the war to the end first with 14 then 24. later one of my cousins was a Navigator in 24 Sqn on Buccaneers.

Yep, that's it. The book is.. I've forgotten, but I made a a thread about it.. the Arson King. The book is BUFFOON IN FLIGHT. Brilliant.
