Just found this badge at an old house site. Strange to see it's Silver.

Annoying that it's difficult to find much information on it, let alone a similar picture of the logo.
Seems the Queensland Aero Club went under this name between around 1920 and 1935 before the "Royal" prefix was added.
Plenty of info on F.W. Nissen but not much on the badge itself.

Welcome to the forum Drongo.Nice find,it seems that Sir Charles Kingsford Smith and Bert Hinkler were both members of the Qld Aero Club.
 
Nice find Drongo, can't find anything on the pin though might be worth contacting them for some further info - might have some historical significance considering how old the club is. :Y:
