Description
A professionally produced special edition commemorative card dedicated to the Handley Page Halifax heavy bomber and its operational service with No. 102 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The card features the squadron’s motto, Attempt and Achieve, and is personally hand-signed in black ink by veteran pilot Squadron Leader Frank Williamson, AFC. No. 102 (Ceylon) Squadron was a distinguished heavy bomber unit within RAF Bomber Command during the Second World War, famously operating the Halifax from RAF Pocklington as part of No. 4 Group. The inclusion of the post-nominal AFC (Air Force Cross) signifies a high-level award for exemplary gallantry while flying in non-combat environments, such as flight instruction, transport, or test piloting during the conflict. This item serves as a poignant link to the strategic bombing campaign in Europe and is a desirable piece for collectors of RAF memorabilia and Halifax airframe history.
Condition report:
The card is in excellent, near-mint condition. The signature is bold, clear, and shows no signs of fading. The card stock is clean with no evidence of foxing, creasing, or age-related toning. It remains well-preserved within a protective clear plastic display sleeve.
