"RAF Albatross" ???
Not referring to the bird in the RAF insignia by any chance ?
Used to have many debates on that one over the RCAF emblem which is similar in concept.
The bird is supposed to be an Eagle.
I took the time to ask at the College of heraldry in London to get an answer and was greeted by "Oh, that old chestnut again" by the gent who talked to me. (This was pre internet BTW).
