I thought I had seen all the UK issue AA badges until the middle one turned up last week. So my simple question is what is the middle badge? It has been suggested by a work colleague that it is a prototype from 1967 when they were redesigning the old style badge to the modern square badge. It is also worth knowing that this turned up in Basingstoke, home of the AA from the early seventies.

It doesn't appear on the AA website regarding Badge History: https://www.theaa.com/about-us/aa-history/car-badges

I agree it could be a 'missing link' in the evolution of the badge.
Perhaps contact them as see if they are aware of it's existence. :wink:
