You should be aware that ex-gunners have 'selective deafness' and tend to ignore critical comments but are always open to constructive teachings !

I also think the badge mentioned in your link is the official one (slight spelling error) , the official 'spotter cards' published by the Air Ministry show four views of aircraft ;
"'General perspective view'; 'Front view'; 'Plan view'; 'Side view'."

I find it strange that if there were 191 branches of the club (how many members ???) there is no evidence of them having their own 'spotter' badges.

I eagerly await further developments .
