Description
A commemorative special edition card relating to the Hawker Sea Fury aircraft and No. 1832 Squadron of the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR). The card is personally hand-signed in ink by Lieutenant Commander R.M. Griffiths (RNR). No. 1832 Squadron was a prominent RNVR fighter unit based at RNAS Culham (HMS Hornbill) during the post-war period, famously operating the Sea Fury, which holds the distinction of being the last propeller-driven fighter to serve in the Royal Navy’s front line. The printed text on the card confirms Lt. Cdr. Griffiths as a veteran pilot who flew this iconic aircraft type while serving with the squadron. This item serves as a significant piece of naval aviation memorabilia, documenting the transition era of the Fleet Air Arm and the contribution of the reserve forces to British aerial defence.
Condition report:
