Wanted: RAF 85 SQ enamel pin

[Spitfire]

Hi. I have been looking for a RAF 85 Squadron enamel lapel pin for soooo long. No such luck. Anybody got a spare, they will sell?

Even one of the bigger wall plaques would be nice too...

(Paddy: Sorry if this is not the right place to post - I just thought all the "flyboys" are here. Feel free to move it)

Soren, I have the address for the Chairman of the 85 Sqn Association who may be able to help you.

PM incoming...

 

[PADDY]

Soren.

This seems as good a place as any I managed to get one for my uncles's old Squadron (Shiney 10) with the Kings Crown, on The Bay. Took ages mind you, but worth it in the end. I was the only one who bid actually. Good Luck with that (sorry I can't help).

 

[Spitfire]

Thanks. Chasing one right now....keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[Spitfire]

Got it!

 

[Smithy]

Well done, you'll be chuffed with that!

Is it getting pride of place on the old tweed coat then?

Way to go, Spitfire! :eusa_clap Congrats!

/F

 

[Spitfire]

Thanks gents.
Actually I was thinking of mounting it on a rather large "silver" cigaretcase.
Big enough to hold my cigarillos.
Smithy, guess who gave me this idear.

Great way of using it. Post a pic when you've done it.

Got the pin yesterday - only waiting for the cigarette box now.

It was Bloomsday Bar - great place - and with Spitfire Ale!
The Globe in Nørregade also have Spitfire on tab.
Besides the two, I like mcGraths at Østerbro too. Nice place.
