Royal Australian Navy 805 Sqn Pennants
I thought members may like to see my two RAN pennants, both to 805 Squadron who were on HMAS Sydney from 1948 to 1958 (which gives a good approximate date for the top pennant). Not sure of the date for the second pennant although it does have a nice little tag on the back: "Supplied by Angus & Coote badge specialists, 500 George St, Sydney".
Something very odd about the first pennant though; "I Take But I Surrender" ??? That is not even close to the HMAS Sydney motto. Was someone having a bad day at the printers? Any thoughts on this?
Feel free to add your Aussie pennants here.
Cheers,
Oz.

I can't say on these, but I can show this WW2 type cap/tallyband that would have served on the carrier in the 40's-50's Has the second a kings crown?

Nice cap Rene. From memory its a Queen's Crown but I will check.

Lovely group of pennants there Luke. Do you have any to the Engineers? (My main theme).
Well spotted with the motto. Seems odd to have the word 'surrender' in a military motto.
Cheers,
Oz.
