I'm working on a project to compile digital examples of every ADF pilots course patch (before they are lost to history) That icludes not just RAAF/RAN courses but also Army, PNGDF and RAN OST
Hoping some here might still have some old ones filed away in a shoe-box in the back of a cupboard.
Eventually they'll be compiled into a rolling display for the RAAF Museum, but at the moment they live in this FB group.
(I can't post URLs on PPRuNE until I have 10 posts, so for the moment you'll need to search Facebook for "ADF Pilots Course Patches". I'll update with a link as soon as I'm permitted)

Wot IF there are people like me who WILL NOT join FaceXXX? Search around; there are patches here already. One recent example:

Me course of course through all of 1968 - No.67 Pilot Course the last of BFTS/AFTS (changed 1969)

Viper172. Possibly your best bet is the wall at 2FTS where if not all than the majority of badges are displayed.

I wonder where might that inspiration have come from?
