Further to my last post, the crown badge for 18 and 27 Squadrons, who both fly Chinooks, has turned up.
A spoof of the 617 Squadron "Apres moi le deluge" ( After me a flood) Dambusters crown badge, from the raid on the German Dams in WW2, this one has a Chinook on top of a 617 Sqn type dam, with the title "The Damfixers" , the motto changed to "Sans moi le deluge" (without me a flood) and 18 and 27 where the Squadron number sits.
This was made when the dam at Whaley Bridge was damaged by heavy rainfall on the 2nd August 2019 and RAF Chinooks dropped huge bags of aggregate to stop what would have been a horrific dam collapse.
