Default RNAS Copy

Strange how you can have a copy of badge not actually worn

It was actually manufactured in die cast metal and finished in gilt, worn upon the shoulder board and sleeve, so the badge shown in the link is completely spurious.
AdWO 4284 of November 1917 confirms the badge to be worn by RNR and RNVR officers attached to the RNAS.

Default Badge - RNR and RNVR officers attached to the RNAS

The actual version of the badge in gilt metal.

Many thanks for the reference Frank
