Some more photos.
The first is an American made rubberised patch, which the seller informs me was made recently for 27 Squadron. Anybody seen this in wear yet? Any photos?
The second shows 3 different Crown badges for 27 Squadron. Note the earliest one has the elephant in grey, presumably originally reflecting their time in India, which the Squadron then changed to green to reflect the use of Chinooks, followed by 2 different green elephants.
Finally a couple of patches produced for the 40th anniversary of the Puma helicopter which shows 27 Squadron as the Chinook/Puma Operational Conversion Unit (OCU), a role it took over from 240 OCU.
