Hello and welcome back to all the collectors who have been checking for updates over the past few months.   Sorry I was not updating the site but all going well I will have time over the long winter evenings to catch up.  For Air Corps fans there could be up to a dozen new badges and wings over the next six months.

NOTE:   Just for your information,  I am doing a series of monthly articles on badges of the Irish Defence Forces in the monthly publication "An Cosantoir" which is the Irish Defence Forces magazine.
2007:  February = Artillery Regts,    March = Infantry Bns (PDF),   April = Nil,    May/June = Infantry Bns 7 - 9 (FCA),           
July = Air Corps (Pre 94),   September = Cavalry,   October = Pilot Courses

As this may be my last update before Christmas,  "I would like to wish all of you a very  happy Christmas".   I would also like to wish those of you serving overseas a safe and peaceful tour and may 2007 see you safely home.

To those who check the site I can only say thanks for your patience.
A friend of mine in the States said that I would need to put in an apology about the apology. 
 Late October was a choice between the updating the site or going to a Chicago Bears game,  so the Bears won.  There should be uploads every weekend between now and the end of the year. 

17 October 2006:-

I must apologise for lack of uploads since July.  I have had a major problem with the host server since late August and it is only today that I am sure the problem is coming to an end.  All going well you will see new additions by the weekend.

NOTICE:  07 May 2006:-

This is an information message for all collectors of Irish badges.
Some of you will be aware of the two posters produced by the Defence Forces Magazine "An Cosantoir" showing the Flashes of the PDF Units and the Reserve Units. 
I must warn you that these posters are not totally accurate when it comes to the actual badges. 
RESERVE:- When compared to the poster a lot of the actual reserve badges have a colour difference.  The blue colour on the poster is actually navy blue on the badge and the green became a lime green for the MPs
PDF:- The PDF poster is misleading because some of the badges are close to but not the actual unit design, all are smaller in size.
