Where to get patterns for Royal Navy Sweater or RAF sweater and which looks "cooler"?

Hey folks, a lady at Puddin's job can knit like a fiend from hell. I'm thinking of commissioning either a RN sweater or a RAF one. Which do you suggest and where can I find the patterns? Any help would be greatly appreciated....

Scroll down (and there are a few pages here) and hopefully you'll find something that appeals …

PS. Don't just go by the photo (as alluring as the lady with the mirror is! Man, for once I'm glad I live in the modern era where there's Victoria's Secret!) - there are many designs within the one pattern book. I reckon it'd be worth dropping her an email to try and get the specific roll-neck design you're after.

This very old thread - http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?11051-White-RAF-Roll-Neck-Sweaters - has some useful info on the difference between roll-neck and 'frock', especially first few posts. Might help to have some illustrative details.

Can't help with a pattern source.
