Default ID Please - Printed Badge with a Spitfire

Hi All,

I'm hoping that someone can help out with this one - an offering on eBay at the moment (lot no. 300817900254) : listed as Observer Corps - but is it? I know a variety of locally made badges were used at various times throughout its history, suppose I'm just checking that this isn't for / from any other unit that anyone can identify.

Thanks all,

Default Air Formation Signals

Post-War Air Formation Signals (and a sign of not very great value). The aircraft is a Bristol Beaufighter - a particularly effective World War 2 ground attack aircraft and night fighter which was eventually eclipsed by the Mosquito.
