Default Need Help 16th Air Assault Army Air Corp Jacket

Hi Team

I would like the forum's input on this patched Jacket.

Im unsure on how to describe the proper military use of "patches" on this jacket, if that makes sense.

I need to be educated!!

cheers

Phill

Individual is with the 9th AAC Regt, Air Crew (Rotary Aircraft) serving in 16th AA Bde Parachute and Commando trained.

How do you know individual is 9th AAC and datable 2004-2011?

Also would said individual be from or part of a squadron.

I think I might of found the answer?

Just checking Wiki

I wondered if there was an OP TELIC (2003-2009) connection ?

16 Air Assault Brigade , including 9 Regiment ACC were involved from the start.

Photo shows insignia worn by "a ground crewman and signaller with 663 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps (attached to 9 Regiment AAC)."

Jerry pointed out the 9 Regiment ACC TRF and I think the dating is based on the contract number on the combat jacket.
