Looking for a Patch/ WW2 USN VPB-105

[Patrolman]

Hi Patrolman,
if you are interested....You can find some information on Airfiekd Dunkeswell (UK), the only airbase used by the US Navy during WW2 (including VPB-105): https://www.southwestairfields.co.uk/page16.html
There is also a photo collection showing everyday life on Airfield Dunkeswell: https://www.southwestairfields.co.uk/page39.htm

Johnny, where did you find this B&W image of VP-2 (a previous designation for VP-31)?

Johnny, do you recall where you found that B&W image of the VP-2 insignia (previous designation of VP-31)? It's the first time I"ve seen the squadron name on the cop's badge, as well as the "shield" outline around the entire image.

Lots of flight jackets in those photos, but no patches on the front left. However, several images show a patch of some sort on the right shoulder. Probably wishful thinking on my part, but several seem to have a vague shape of the "shield' surrounding the image of the cop. The one in the left shows an ill-defined shape from bottom right to upper left, which is the way the cop is leaning.
