*** The page boy logo ! had forgot about that one,this was from the days when you ordered a plan on the Monday and received it on Friday,the last time I ordered a drawing by post it took three months to get it sorted after making numerous phone calls,the plans were done in another part of the country ! can you imagine the problems it did cause,Model Aeronautical press had an in-house plans/magazine empire,if you needed an obsolete one then the tracing was found within a week and printed specially for you at no extra cost,a brilliant service.
I will pm you Duncan.

Another one I liked was a stylised glider in a circle , gold and black. May have been BGA, British Gliding Assn., fore-runner of BARCS ?

*** Long before the BMFA were on the scene with their insurance for modellers,there was another organisation which was called the NGA ( National Guild of Aeromodellers) they had this crackpot insurance scheme which made a payment for a fly-away model ! you can imagine that the scheme was relatively short lived,there were some advertisements in forties Aeromodellers for it.
I think that it was aimed at the big 'gassies' then coming in from America,petrol engines par excellence.
Anyone who has flown free-flight will know the big risks of loosing models.

***That sounds familiar Duncan,you could make a great collection of these vintage badges,which reminds me that I once had a scooter & sidecar with those motoring organisation type metal plaques,I sold the bike with one that said 'Civil service flying club' never seen one since ? I left it on by mistake.

Dont worry about the silver reproducing,I intend on repainting that portion.

How about these two then?
I've had them both since the early 60s, the Frog is from a "Cirrus" kit and the KK one is from a "Skystreak 26"

I have an original somewhere of that Keil Kraft logo,these would make idea reproductions for people to use on period models.

Thanks for jogging my memory boys. I need to resize the SMAE and Veron transfers. Barry you could try printing the SMAE ones one silver paper using blue ink. Edit: file size exceeds limit, I`ll get me mate Sandy to fix that ,sorry.

thatnks for the offer geoff but i finished the model, and she has won a couple of club regatta's. when i get some time i will try and get a couple of photos of are boats. and seeing that frog logo reminded me that me and my father have 4 or 5 of the frog RAF launches and a frog albertrous.
