I got a patch from my Grandfathers house since my Grandmother just passed away, and it was I guess from his unit in world war 2.

So does anyone know what unit this was from?  Any information on it would be nice.

thanks!

Oh man, I would possibly shot down for this... but the way I'm reading the crest, is that it could be No.5 Squadron Bomb and Gunnery. The only thing is... that the only No.5 Squadron was a Flying Boat unit based out of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

sorry... I'm not that much help here.
 
#5 Bombing and Gunnery, Stationed in Dafoe, Sask

IIRC it was a CATP unit in WW2
 
OOO I was close! but CDN Aviator where'd you find that info? I tried the RCAF.ca page and couldn't find it :(
 
Just an aside, this is an interesting bunch who have helped me out from time to time in some of my obscure research quests.
