I found that one too, which came up with a sort of error message before locating the other which can not be found I guess we keep on searching ... All the best Mike |

If I remember correctly a fellow forum member has been working on the definitive RAF badge book for a while now? Perhaps making this one superfluous?
I Guess we'll have to wait for that one. Rgds, Thomas. |

I wonder how much the sudden & unexpected synchronised "disappearance" of copies advertised for sale may be down to this thread?
Nah, couldn't be............its got to be pure unfortunate coincidence. |

A question
If someone who has a copy of said document and was willing to produce a couple of copies for forum members (on a not for profit basis - merely to cover costs of paper, ink and postage) what is the issue of copyright?
The cover plate states that Copyright is/was held by Margaret Nobbs and Charles Thomas from 1969 onwards. |

A person who is currently out of circulation, if it is who I think it is, then I certainly would not even consider buying a copy of anything even remotely connected to him.

Despite some poor reviews of it, I recently bought a copy of the Hobart book basically because there appeared to be nothing else available on RAF badges.
From the interest in this thread it seems there would be a market for a comprehensive new book on RAF badges. P.B.

Catalogue of Air Force Insignia
Came across this old post after re-discovering my copy of the Catalogue at the back of a filing cabinet drawer. Is there still interest in this publication from members of this forum? Does anyone know if it was ever published? The copy I have is missing Sections E and M, as well as U thru Z. I have no idea if these sections were ever produced. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has a copy of these missing sections. Cheers

I have a copy somewhere that certainly contains Ferry and Transport Command and some RNAS and Fleet Air Arm stuff. I know there were also 'updates', correcting some earlier entries.
Overall it's very good, but not perfect. But well worth getting. |

Margaret's Catalogue
The following is copied directly from Margaret's Catalogue:
"The Guide to Subject Headings reads as follows: T Canteen, Welfare, Aircraft Workers, RAFA etc, U Allied (Non-Commonwealth) air forces with RAF 1939-46 V Canadian Air Force; Royal Canadian Air Force W Australian Flying Corps; R Australian Air Force X R New Zealand Air Force; Hong-Kong Aux Air Force Y S African Air Force; Royal Rhodesian Air Force Z Royal Ceylon, Indian, and Pakistan Air Forces AA,BB,CC etc Minor Commonwealth Air Forces - Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Singapore, etc." It would have been some book if she had been able to finish it!! My copy ends with section 'T' but omits Sections 'E', and 'M'. There are also numerous hand written notes on the pages (although in my copy they are photocopies). I hope this is of interest. |
