JerryBB Posted January 8, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 8, 2022 not British, the Belgians used some odd looking versions, but don't recognise this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Cooke Posted August 22, 2022 Share #5 Posted August 22, 2022 It’s British. 16th Air Assault Brigade patch. Here is the unit history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Air_Assault_Brigade_Combat_Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted August 23, 2022 Share #6 Posted August 23, 2022 I would disagree with the assertion that the formation sign is British. Yes, it is based on the British Winged Pegasus design, but I have never seen British insignia made with this rubbery material applied to felt. The manufacturing process screams Belgian or Dutch to me. Additionally, the felt looks rather red in the photo where the British used a decidedly maroon hue.

Paul Cooke Posted August 23, 2022 Share #7 Posted August 23, 2022 It’s British. 16th Air Assault Brigade patch. 51 minutes ago, Paul Cooke said: It’s British. 16th Air Assault Brigade patch. Actually just realised it is the same as the older Para Pegasus too so not just 16th. False memory of the Pegasus not having a rider threw me.

Are there any other British formation signs that use that rubbery material applied to the felt? I've only ever seen British formation signs that were printed or embroidered.
