Description

A Royal Air Force Special Edition commemorative card dedicated to the Avro Lancaster heavy bomber. The card is personally hand-signed in black ink by Warrant Officer C. Chandler, a veteran airman who served with No. 622 Squadron during the Second World War. No. 622 Squadron was formed at RAF Mildenhall in August 1943 as part of No. 3 Group, Bomber Command, and operated Lancasters for the duration of the conflict in the European theatre. The card features the squadron’s official motto, Bellamus Noctu (We wage war by night). This item serves as a poignant piece of aviation ephemera, linking the iconic Lancaster bomber to the personnel of a distinguished Bomber Command unit.


Condition report:
