World War Two RAF Air-Sea Rescue Launch Crew overalls patch
Hi all,
Is this what it says it is? I trust the dealer but thought that I had seen it described as something different on the forum. http://www.cchmilitaria.co.uk/airforce/af.html I have an interest due to a family member serving in WW2 on RAF rescue launches in the Med. Cheers Phil

My partner's uncle (who passed away a couple of months ago) was also WW2ASR and that badge looks fine compared with the ones he showed me.

Hi Gentlemen
I have a model of an ASR launch in the airfield museum HMS SULTAN, Gosport. The site was an airfield from 1914 to 1956 and the ASR launches were attached to the RAF Airfield at Gosport. The model is of launch 2608. There is therefore a possibility that the launch shown in ASR142s picture album worked in the same area. Any connection? I also have a cloth ASR badge in the museum donated by the widow of Gosport ASR man. John
