Description
A commemorative Special Edition autograph card dedicated to the Avro Lancaster and No. 622 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The card features the squadron motto, We wage war by night (a translation of the Latin Bellamus Noctu), and is hand-signed in black ink by Flight Sergeant Bernie Harris. Harris was a veteran who served as aircrew on Lancaster heavy bombers with No. 622 Squadron during the strategic bombing campaign in Europe. No. 622 Squadron was established at RAF Mildenhall in August 1943 as part of No. 3 Group, Bomber Command, and remained operational until the end of hostilities in Europe. This item represents an honourable link to the airmen of Bomber Command during the Second World War and is a desirable piece for collectors of Lancaster-related ephemera.

The card is in excellent, pristine condition. There are no visible signs of foxing, creasing, or age-related fading to the card stock. The signature of Flight Sergeant Harris remains bold, clear, and highly legible. The item is currently housed and protected within a clear plastic display sleeve.
