A circular embroidered cloth insignia featuring a green globe with gold meridians overlaid by a winged golden shield bearing the number “28”. Above the shield is a stylised eagle, and below is a scroll with the Latin motto “PORTAMUS”, translating to “We Carry”. The patch is associated with 28 Squadron of the South African Air Force, a transport and logistics unit famed for operating the C-130 Hercules and historically involved in regional operations and humanitarian airlift missions. This particular variant is believed to be a non-standard or operational theatre version, likely produced in limited numbers for internal or commemorative use. The construction suggests a late 20th-century manufacture, likely between the Border War era and the early 1990s.
