Description
A significant piece of aviation ephemera, this Special Edition commemorative card honours the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber and the personnel of No. 170 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The card is professionally printed on heavy white cardstock with blue ink, featuring the squadron’s official motto, To see (and) not be seen. It is personally hand-signed in black ink by the distinguished veteran Flight Lieutenant Dennis Evans, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and was a Member of the Order of the British Empire. The signature is inscribed as Dennis Evans with the squadron designation 170 written immediately below. A printed statement at the base of the card confirms the provenance, noting it was signed by a veteran who flew the Lancaster while serving with No. 170 Squadron in the European theatre of operations. This item serves as a poignant historical link to the aircrews of Bomber Command during the Second World War. Measurements: Not provided.
