Description
A modern commemorative Special Edition collector’s card dedicated to the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber and its service with No. 622 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The card features a double-line blue border and carries the squadron’s motto, We wage war by night. It is personally hand-signed in ink by Warrant Officer K. Ridley, a veteran who served with the squadron in Europe during the Second World War. No. 622 Squadron was part of No. 3 Group RAF, operating out of RAF Mildenhall as part of the strategic night bombing offensive against Nazi Germany. The card was likely produced in the late 20th or early 21st century as part of a series of veteran-signed aviation collectibles intended for historians and enthusiasts. Text on the card reads: AVRO LANCASTER, No. 622 Squadron, Royal Air Force, We wage war by night, Warrant Officer K. Ridley. A footer note confirms the authenticity of the signature, stating the veteran flew in the Lancaster while serving with the squadron in Europe. Dimensions: 148mm x 105mm.
