handler 69 Posted August 31, 2010 Posted August 31, 2010 I have found a place that is willing to make the aerial pennants......but I need specs, does anyone have photos and dimensions that I can supply to the maker?/ Cheers Troy Quote
Peter4456 Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Troy, This is a Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) pennant that came with my Ferret and it looks pretty much the same size as all the others I've seen. Dimensions = 34cm from antenna end to the tip, 17cm 'wide' at the antenna end. These seem to be quite difficult to find now, so if you could find someone to make quality copies of the various regimental (or perhaps H4H!) colours, I think they'd sell very well. Good luck, Peter, Ferret Mk 2/3, 03 CC 42 Quote
Adam Elsdon Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 I like the idea of a Help for Heroes Pennant, excellent idea everybody should have one :-) Quote
berna2vm Posted September 1, 2010 Posted September 1, 2010 Here here, best idea I have heard all day !!! Quote
handler 69 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Posted September 1, 2010 These are the guys that are making the vehicle pennants up...perhaps we can ask them? I think here in Australia we don't do as much for our fellas as you guys do in the UK :blush: michaela@newtonnewtonflags.com Quote

Peter4456 Posted September 2, 2010 Posted September 2, 2010 I like the idea of a Help for Heroes Pennant, excellent idea everybody should have one :-) Now you've really got me started - anyone on the forum connected with H4H? We need a proper, sewn, cotton, pennant in H4H colours and yes, they should be part of the CES of all ex military vehicles!! I know I'd pay £10 for a decent one, knowing it was going to this outstanding charity which has done so much for wounded members of my local unit - 16 Air Assault Brigade, who go back out to Afghan in the next month -good luck to them all.

handler 69 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Posted September 2, 2010 I haven't heard back from them yet...bit of a time difference ! I have asked for the Red/White one pictured earlier in the topic and one done up in 9/12th Lancers...I will then stitch an embroided badge to it. Lets do something for our fellas fighting the r**g heads :shocked:, I think a vehicle pennant is a great idea...perhaps a red/white/blue one or one with the Army lion on it perhaps I will let you know what the flag guys get back to me with. Cheers Troy :cool2: Quote
handler 69 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Posted September 2, 2010 I have emailed the Newton people asking about the H4H flags and will let you know what they say. Is there any particular design?? we may need a pic. I may be half a planet away but would like to help out :-) Cheers Troy (Soon to be Fox owner) Quote
