I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I would guess that was Org3 which would define a functional role in the Org area, typical examples would be Air 1, Air 2 etc. Org3, or Organisation as you suggest, probably concerned a position within what is now Supply and Logistics.

"The post which was created in 1923 was originally known as the Air Member for Supply and Research; it was renamed Air Member for Supply and Organisation in 1936 and Air Member for Logistics in 1994.[2] Since 2007 it has been the Air Member for Materiel.[2]'
Bomber Command would have had staff officers mirroring the staff in the Air Ministry.
