Never Not Ready RAF Parachute Units
I've just been lucky enough to open a package this morning containing a massive tome called Never Not Ready The History of RAF Regiment Parachute Units 1942-2012 by Graeme Deeley. 652 packed pages.
I have only flicked through it at the moment but WOW! If only every unit had such a fantastic fully illustrated history as this. To say this book outdid even my wildest dreams is such an understatement. It is outstanding and if not already will become the must have book on the subject. I've no connection with Graeme other than being a very satisfied customer. I just felt I had to give a shout out. Highly recommended for anyone interested in RAF Regiment or Airborne Forces. |

I got this for my birthday in October, and absolutely a fantastic read, very very informative. I never knew the RAF had had so many parachute units or how embedded they are in the airborne forces, those that slate the RAF and RAF Regiment in particular really ought to read this and get an education! |

it can be known as Persia & Iraq Command or Persia & Iraq Force. They did come from Carmarthen, price was very good for the silver badges, and pretty good for the patch IMO.
