Default P.S. on the SFHQ patch

Hello again, I thought I should cite the articles wherein the SFHQ patch is mentioned, in case anyone in the future wants to track down the original articles in the Trading Post:

"The SF Wing, Etc.," by Les Hughes, January-March 1989 issue, page 25.

"Another Look at the SF Wings," by M. Albert Mendez, July-Sept. 1989 issue, pages 6-10.

"Another Look at The RAF/SF Wing," by Les Hughes, April-June 1990 issue., pages 69-72.

It pains me to agree that these SFHQ patches are probably fantasy items; I have one, a different color and style than the one shown, that I acquired in the mid-1980s when I started collecting airborne and SF insignia, and I had high hopes it was a real treasure. More proof of the old saying: If something seems too good to be true... it probably is not.

Best regards,
Donovan
