Now this is a patch we have been very excited to release for a while…and with it, we wish a hugely warm welcome to the United Kingdom to 349 Squadron of the Belgian Air Component!

We are so honoured to have been approached by The Maces to produce their official patch for Exercise COBRA WARRIOR 23-1, being held in the UK over the coming weeks, spanning March 2023. This large-scale multi-national exercise will provide high-end tactical training to all of its participants and, as one of the premier exercises of its type in Europe, it is fantastic for us to have been able to mark our Belgian friends’ involvement.

The patch features one of 349 Squadron’s F-16s at its centre, with an aggressive cobra behind, coloured blue to recognise the uniforms of the Air Component’s personnel. Coiled around the cobra’s body is a chain attached to a mace, itself situated behind the snake - and recognising the Squadron’s heraldry.

We are pleased to team this new patch with a new piece of artwork by aviation artist Chris Dodd. It is possible to purchase both together as a bundle, or independently.

We wish 349 Squadron every success on Exercise COBRA WARRIOR and send our sincere thanks for asking us to work on this project with you. With missions about to start…

Fight’s on!
