Default 16th Air Assault Brigade

I recently acquired this patch identified as being 16th Air Assault Brigade by several sites, with the stripes going vertical, and green to the left. However, to me it is just a RADC TRF (Dental) turned sideways.



Is it indeed a 16th Air Assault TRF when turned sideways?

Thanks,

Terry

RADC TRF is smaller and colours are different.

The three colours going (from left to right) red, blue and green is the older DZ flash for RHQ The Parachute Regiment, with the red for 1 PARA, blue for 2 PARA and green for 3 PARA, with the newer version having a black stripe added to the right symbolising 4 PARA.

Thanks Colin! Yes, I've seen the one with the 4 stripes and now that I understand it I'll be adding it too, but it's got to take it's turn.
