Are you sure it is a swallow? Got a pic?
In WW2 8 Corps used a flying partridge on a white oval, later replaced by the better known charging white knight on horseback on red.

Flying swallow
Do you mean the Air Defence Cadet Corps? Their insignia was described as a 'speed bird'. I don't have any pictures to illustrate. HOBART lists the metal badges and mentions an unofficial cloth badge, a specimen of which is in the RAF Museum.
Regards, Stephen.

Thanks much for the responses people. Did not post an image first up as that part of the image is well faded however I have isolated it and ramped up the contrast a bit and the enclosed image is the result. It is definitely a swallow in flight. Fair to say it is diving from the NE to the SW. I have seen similar in the past but I can't remember where. It is on the side of a British Ambulance in the Mediterranean Theatre. Regards....Rod
PS....you can just make out the forked tail hence my ID as a swallow and it is definitely WW1 ASC.!
