Somebody other than the Royal Flying Corps?
There may indeed have been a third military aviation body with that motto, prior to our familiar awareness of the RAF still using it today. More info to follow. Well done on identifying the RFC as the evident previous user.

But none of those are military? Lots of schools, though…
