Hi David,
Unfortunately I don't have any of the Bosleys catalogues, but would be very interested indeed in seeing the badge in colour, as all other unofficial bullion Airborne badges (RECCE, RA, RE, R Sigs, RASC & RAMC) had a maroon background.
So why did the AAC badge have a red background? Red being a colour not in any way associated with the AAC.

Rgds,
