commandobairn Posted 3 December , 2023 Author Share Posted 3 December , 2023 Imperial Air Convention, apparently. Rare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawhiri Posted 3 December , 2023 Share Posted 3 December , 2023 (edited) See here, it was an organization started by Noel Pemberton Billing in 1916, so not linked to anything military. https://www.sallybosleysbadgeshop.com/shop.php?code=54348 See also this article published in The Aeroplane in 1916. https://archive.org/details/aeroplan101916lond/page/704/mode/2up?q="imperial+air+convention" Edited 3 December , 2023 by Tawhiri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commandobairn Posted 3 December , 2023 Author Share Posted 3 December , 2023 Thank you very much. So, as you say, nothing to do with military matters. I've seen the word 'rare' used but not able to find out how rare. Mine has 3368 on the back so didn't think it would be that rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also very much liked the Aeroplane article posted @Tawhiri Thank you both for posting. I've learnt something new today about the Air Supremacy badge and the Imperial Air Convention - Every day a schoolday. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
