RCAF 601 Squadron?? Air direction?
OK, here's another patch I have to ID before flogging it if you're able to help. It's a tall jacket crests and seems to refer to 601 SQN, the RAF mob but I can't decode it. Is that an Air Direction reference at the top? Tel for telecommunications, telephony?? Would the chain links refer to a radio chain? This one's really got me stumped. It appears to be of 1950's vintage, perhaps a bit later.
Thanks for any assistance. Monkey |

I think it might be 601 Telecom Squadron. They were in Europe in the early-mid 60’s and moved from 2 Wing to Metz. You can find another crest here:

Oops, I guess Walt and I were writing at the same time. I also noticed an exact example of your patch from George Bignell at the same resource, on a different page and dated June, 1958:

In the RAF, AD usually refers to Air Defence. In the communications (Comms) world the chain represents the ability to pass information, unbroken, from one end to the other - as used in this example.

Hi
I somehow missed this thread but good to see. My Father was 601. http://www.c-and-e-museum.org/groste...1sqn/601-1.jpg I have his Sqn Curling Team jacket somewhere in storage. It has an entirely different patch on it. I'll see if it's handy. Thanks again. regards Darrell
