I am searching for the Name Badges for each of the C Class Empire Flying Boats and hope somebody on this forum may have copies of them.
I would need to find very clear copies of the originals suitable for reproduction in a book.
If anybody has them, or access to them, I'd be delighted to hear from you please.
Many thanks

What is the book, Paul?
Presumably the topic is Short flying-boats?

Well, when it is eventually published, I'll definitely be purchasing a copy to add to my already-large collection of books about flying-boats.
I know from previously-published material that you are very thorough with your research.

Thanks so much kiwithrottlejockey!
I'm working on a timeline of at least 18 months before you'll see any progress.

This is the preserved manufacturers plate for CLEOPATRA G-AFRA but I'm guessing you mean something different..a heraldic crest drawn by an artist, perhaps? Can you give us any examples? https://www.flickr.com/photos/76971536@ ... 0/sizes/l/

Hi Longshot. Here's an example of the crests I'm looking for (this is Imperial Airways Gazette Magazine 1938)

That link doesn't work. Could you please re-post it?

Hi Paul,
The Hythe is one of my all-time vourites.
If you need any help from 'up here' let me know.
No cost, no charge, just pleased to put what I have available to me, to you, if you need it..!

Hi Paul,
I've just seen this and had a quick flick through my files but I can't see any images of the crests - sorry.
But if I can help in anyway, do let me know. Some years ago I copied a lot of files at the UK National Archives for a project which never happened, so if there's anything from there you might need, do let me know, I might be able to help.
I also have a good selection of photos from the Short Brothers factory at Rochester, including the Empire Boats being built - if they are any use.
Good luck with the project
