    Roffs wish I hadn’t told you that, when you start looking you can’t stop the information is amazing, don’t know if you will find what you are looking for , if you don’t it will have been worth a look.

    Roy, I’m sure I could help you out here as I have a load of Military stuff on CD’s etc, but I’m in the middle of moving house at the moment and all my software has been packed away ready for the move. Most of my stuff is Army though, but I’m sure I have some Navy stuff lurking in a box somewhere. I do have contacts at HMNB Portsmouth,who may have what you need, but wont be in contact with them again for a week or so, poss longer with the luck I’m having getting a decent clean line in the new area. Sorry mate! (chat.)

    Try getting in touch with a company called Ensign Motifs. They used to make name badges for the navy with the coat of arms on which we engraved the names on for them until they got there own equipment. They may be able to help.

    Roffs, make sure your customer has permission to use these as the MOD can be very funny about people copying their stuff without a license.
