DH.88 Comet badge is a puzzle.

I put this badge on eBay:

It depicts a DH.88 Comet in a livery that was never used as far as I know. It seems strange that CWA Scott would “cheat” in this way to promote his company. I don’t know if de Havilland had anything to say about it!

An image of the Comet racer appears on the side of one of his display support vehicles during his 1936 tour, see his Wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._W._A._Scott

I doubt that this pin is trying to show a livery. It is just a Comet shaped aircraft (which was easily linked to Scott in those days) with a bit of text. Interesting item!
