Got it !

"Army Air Force Technician Badge"
The Army Air Force Technician Badge appeared as a wreathed propeller from which qualification bars were suspended that denoted the training and qualifications held by the wearer. 27 bars were authorized to the Army Air Force Technician Badge.

Does the tablet say motor? At a guess some kind of mechanic badge. You can see the eyelets on the badge in the OP so no doubt it too had the same tablet and chain originally.

Thanks everyone, you have nailed it. At some point it’s going on eBay, unless someone wants it first.
