In May, 2009, one of our squadron mates was looking for a VP-18 cap and T-shirt and came up with these links:

And here's another company that offers a plain squadron number version and a T.

Also, a place for mugs, tote bags, etc.

Also I did obtain a ball cap with the VP-18 Patch. I took my patch pic file copy and sent it to this company who put it onto the ball cap.  So they have the patch and I guess anyone could order it.  You may want to put this URL up on the front page with the others.

  He had originally ordered the minimum of a dozen of these large custom-made patches. In 2011 he ordered a new supply and they are for sale from him for his $28 cost, plus $2 shipping.
Hello Richard .....June 23, 2012
Would you edit the notice about the P2V patch on the VP-18 web site? I still charge $28.00 + $2.00 shipping for one patch but now I added a new pricing change. $50.00 with free shipping for two of the patches. Along with the "P2V Neptune" I now offer a patch that lists the Neptune as a "P2 Neptune". I've had quite a few VP veterans who served after the Navy dropped the manufacturers designation ask me to to offer a patch that way.
Also, could you add a picture of the patch of my flight jacket with the patch on the back?
Thanks
Bob Neu
