Royal Observer Corps - Proficiency patches
Hi, to any R.O.C buffs out there?
Can someone aid me regarding gold proficiency patches?
I have a R.O.C gold star patch but on a blue/grey background (I also have this patch type on the later issued dark navy background).
What is confusing me is that Wikipedia states the gold Spitfire patch (and therefore I assume the gold star) was authorised in 1988 but could be retrospectively awarded.
if this assumption is correct then my Gold star patch on blue/grey should not exist (and therefore any gold blue/grey Spitfire too). Has anyone ever seen a Gold Spitfire patch using the older background colour?
I really want to know if the Gold blue/grey Spitfire patch exists so I can stop looking or keep looking for it.
Any help resolving this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
