Some new Australian badges - 1st and 5th Aviation Regiment collar badges

Due to be issued to the regiments in the near future. They will however continue to wear the AAAvn shoulder title.

Thanks Mick.

5th Aviation Regiment is another Australian cluttered design - "must fit as much as we can into the design" approach. Ugly.

I'm also hoping to have pictures of the new 6th Aviation Regiment bi-metal hat badge soon as well.

G/day Mick
That 5th Aviation badge has been in the works for a long time. I remember talking to a member about 12yrs ago in Townsville he said then it was "going thru the system"

Hi Joe,

It was only issued last year to the regiment.
