They definitely existed. It was a single chevron worn point uppermost on the lower left sleeve. They were the same size and style as normal NCOs chevrons. Wartime pattern would have been worn on a very dark navy/black background as opposed to the post wore NCOs chevrons which were worn on an RAF blue/grey background.
Not to be confused with War Service chevrons which were miniature red chevrons worn point uppermost on the right arm.
The Good Conduct badge was introduced in 1920 and was confined to Airmen below the rank of Substantive Corporal.
So, effectively, it looks like an RAF version of a Lance Corporal chevron worn point uppermost on the left arm, the point being 7 1/2" inches above the cuff. probably easier to obtain a Corporal's chevrons and cut it down ?
