Description
A special edition commemorative card dedicated to the Handley Page Halifax heavy bomber and No. 102 (Ceylon) Squadron of the Royal Air Force. The document is personally signed in black ink by Flying Officer Thomas Sayer, DFM. Flying Officer Sayer served as a veteran with No. 102 Squadron during the Second World War operations in Europe.

The card features the squadron’s official motto, Attempt and Achieve, and serves as a significant piece of aviation memorabilia relating to the strategic bombing campaign over occupied Europe.
