Does anyone know what this shield is……

Something to do with the Kent RAFA Branch back in the seventies perhaps to commerate Arnhem or the Rhine crossing ??

Could it be a sylised RAFA badge?

Hi Contrail,

Yes I have that pic as well, although didn’t link to it as I couldn’t remember where I got it from. It is the same shield and looks like its some kind of air transport association logo/emblem as I can make out ‘AIR’ and what looks like ‘ASSOCIATION’ around the edge of the shield. Bottom looks like a globe but I can’t determine what the rest is. Someone out there may recognise it, hopefully.

Not sure yet… but here’s a link to a different angle on it (albeit poor quality)

if you mean the thing just under the nose it looks to be a ‘boat’ vhf aerial. Although quite why they put it there I don’t know.
