BP DND
Dear all,
Who can help to identify the patch of BP DND? Does it relate to British Petroleum, or was it worn by the RCAF ? Any background information is welcome Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Fred PS for some reason image are shown in landscape mode. |

I would guess it is an RCAF training school jacket patch due to the plane on it being a T-6 Texan, which was an advanced trainer in WW2. These types of patches were usually a PX buy.

Thank you Terry.
By the way, what does "PX buy" stand for ? Kind regards, Fred |

Fred, I am in the US and PX is the acronym used for an Army "Post Exchange", or kind of like a little shop of both military and non-military bits at lower prices than commercially available - think of a NAFFI store. But only active or retired service personnel are allowed access on most posts. On Air Force bases they are called "Base Exchange" or BX.
I believe they are called PRI in the UK. Hope this answers your question, but if not let me know. A novelty patch like that would be sold in the PX/BX and at the time would probably be a very popular item. Terry |
