Whilst the backing is a British Army MTP PCS blanking patch, I don't recognise design as representing any British Army formation; in fact the colours and quality of embroidery don't look 'military' at all... just my impression - I could well be wrong

What is the provenance of where your friend got it from? That might be a starting point to try working backwards.

The patch was on a used MTP jacket in a large batch of surplus bought from a dealer.

Soldier‘s name/number inside the jacket?

dragonfly design, possibly flying, maybe helicopters, but I would take a guess at drone operator.

If it’s not something official, maybe it’s a morale patch within a small unit.

How about enquiring on the British Army Rumour Service (ARRSE ?). Someone there should know.
