Found this one on ebay.
480 Fighter Sq. from Spangdahlem, that were stationed in Sweden during Op. Trident Juncture, last year.
They got to test their cold weather operational readiness… ![]()

When you have bought patches on ebay, it will continue to tell you about similar products…
I normally search for specific patches, and ebay’s suggestions are generally overlooked…
One day mye eyes glanced over the suggestions, and I made a doubletake!
A patch with the text ”Serbian Airforce” and a… Piper Seneca V…! ![]()
I flew the Seneca V in Flightschool, and let me tell you, the only thing that aircraft can be used for is multi engine training. It’s useless as an IFR cruiser with more than a pilot and one passenger.
When I did my skilltest for my CPL, there were me, the instructor and the examiner. Three persons, total. I could plan for a 45 min x-country, with IFR reserves. That’s it! Any more fuel and we’d be overloaded.
Imagine my surprise when I realised that somebodys airforce actually used these things…
Had to get that patch, of course! It’s even in the same livery as the ones I flew. ![]()
The seller had a few other cool patches too. ![]()
That was nice of your mailman.

I was about to make a joke about mailmen and family members but…
Got two new SwAF patches in the mail today.
This is a patch for the FVÖ 2019 (FlygVapenÖvning=Airforce Exercise) from the 72. Fighter Squadron, ”Ghost”.
I also got a 50 year anniversary patch from F21 Wing at Kallax, Luleå.
Anyone care to identify the aircraft silhouettes?
Didn’t know about the existence of those types of clocks so for years I have thought that an altimeter hanging on a shelving unit full of airplane parts for one of the restoration projects was just that and not until about a week ago did I finally notice it was a clock. In my defense this was at Planes of Fame and there are altimeters practically all over the place so one hanging on the shelving unit didn’t seem out of place.

Got a few more RNoAF patches…
Funny how ”Fighting” looks like it says ”Fightihg” in the Desert F-16 patch.
Bought some patches at https://www.silverspitfire.com/
They came in a beautiful bag!
Fascinating project and a beeeeeautiful Spit!
So that’s why there was a silver Spit in Japan a little while back. Didn’t know they were flying around the world.
I got the adversary patch for the 2019 FVÖ (Flygvapenövning or Airforce Exercise).
The bad guys, stationed in Finland, to strike from the east… ![]()
Isn’t it strange how in our corner of the world we always seem to train against the enemy striking from the east! ![]()
