http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafcms/mediafiles/9647CE1A_E2F1_FD48_EE58A77DCDE87EBE.pdf.

According to AP 1358, CHAP 7 0733. RAF Regiment. Members of the RAF Regiment wear distinguished arm badges and shoulder slides as follows:
a. RAF Regiment Shoulder Badge.
b. Shoulder/Chest Epaulette Rank Slides
c. Sqn Drop Zone (DZ) Patches. Sqn DZ patches may be worn on the CS 95 jacket with the sqn cdrs permission. They are to be OG with the centrepiece of the authorised Sqn badge embroidered in black, coloured versions are not to be worn. They are worn centrally mid-way up the right sleeve of the field jacket (or parachute smock if appropriate), positioned below parachutist wings if awarded. RAF Regt personnel not serving on sqns may wear the RAF Regt DZ patch with embroidered crossed rifles and astral crown instead.

-- 15 PARA patch-- The patch shown is incorrect. It should be trimmed to the black lines to make all sides the same size Acorn897 (talk) 16:16, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Where are the patches worn?[edit]

Where on the person are the patches worn and are they only worn when on an operation involving a parachute drop? 82.43.218.245 (talk) 06:43, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
