Hi Graham,
An attractive badge, fairly rare.
ATA is for Air Transport Auxiliary. Sorry, I can't advise on value.
Cheers, John

Graham - the forum often gets asked about 'values' ...
Very nice items - there is a difference between 'value' and 'price' - 'value' acknowledges the importance of an item to an individual, particularly a family member. 'Price' often does not. ATA items are desirable, and I am sure Steve is right with 'prices' you may expect if you sell them. Please think before parting with them if they are part of your family story ...
