A SAAF legend, RIP.
Can anyone please tell me what happened to my previous posts? I commented on some poorly shaped berets, also posted a picture of some SADF unit flashes on which I asked someone to identify them.
I wasn't able to login to the site for some reason despite my entering the correct password and I've since had to have it reset. I also notice that my avatar has also disappeared along with the posts I made?

After the hack , the forum was reset to August. Anything posted after that are gone.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up Dinges.
If you need the descriptions of those flashes i can post them again.
Thanks Kat - if you would please be so kind? I am in South Africa at the moment, I have bought a couple more that I am unable to identify and will post some pictures tomorrow if you wouldn't mind having a butcher's at those too?

May they R.I.P.
Shame, it must have been one hell of a collision to overturn a 28t armoured vehicle! RIP guys.
Thanks for the repost bru - are you able to identify these ones please:
I know that the second flash in each group represents A, B, C company etc but don't know which design = what company. Kind of suspect that the second group is a former commando unit?

The first one is for Western Province Command HQ. The company flash is for E Company. Red and yellow was used only by HQ Commands.
The second set is S.A. Infantry School, and the company flash is for B Company. Green and black was used only by the infantry.
Much appreciated!
Importantly though is that these are old flashes as the new ones do not indicate the commands as these structures have closed down so current flashes only indicate the units, but that probably common knowledge right
