By all means use the images in your album, it will help make a useful resource. I thought I had seen light blue ones but evidently not. Hopefully there are others out there. As you say, a neglected aspect of uniform distinction. Mike |

152 (North Irish) Regiment RLC Pipers.
Red flash worn by piper. Comes as a double flash left (back shown). But separated to make a pair. Photos show the double flash worn when the band was RLC.

That's great can I add these to the album as a point of reference for others? I als remember seeing pipers from the UDR in Sennelager wearing saffron would they have been the same pattern as the Irish Guards?

Garter Flash
Sean no problem using the pics. Most Irish regiments wore saffron flashes. Thought there might have been some minor variation to shape and size. The Royal Irish Regiment pipers wear red.

Dug these out.
The top 3 courtesy of a 41 RM Commando mechanic/electrician. Cannot recall his explanation unfortunately, after all these years (1977) I believe they pertained to a specific company. Bottom 2 are different-sized R. Signals, also acquired locally. Note that both are reversed. GTB |

That's great Rob, can I add them to the album so it becomes a reference guide for others?
Cheers Sean |

picked these up recently, RA from the colours and from what is shown in this thread. They seem a good match to the aussie set shown.
