Description

This item is a signed commemorative special edition card honouring the Gloster Meteor jet fighter and its service with No. 208 (FR) Squadron of the Royal Air Force. The card is hand-signed in pencil by Captain J.D. Penrose, a veteran pilot who flew the Meteor during his service in Europe.

This card was likely produced as part of a limited edition series for military history collectors. Transcribed text: GLOSTER METEOR, No. 208 (FR) Squadron, Royal Air Force, Vigilant, Captain J.D.
