If you see any of the BBMF pilots, aircrew and ground crew at work in their black flying suits this year, you will notice that they are wearing a new 60th anniversary badge on the left upper arm. Designed jointly by the BBMF and Squadron Prints, the new patch proudly commemorates the Flight’s 60th year.

Squadron Prints generously provided the badges for the BBMF personnel and they can also be purchased online from the company by the general public. If you would like one of these special cloth badges you can buy them online for £4.99 each.
