Description
This item is a modern Special Edition commemorative card produced in the late 20th or early 21st century to honour the service of Royal Air Force veterans. The card is dedicated to the Supermarine Spitfire and No. 287 Squadron. It features the original hand-signed signature of Flight Lieutenant (Sir) Paul Holden in black ink at the centre. No. 287 Squadron was an anti-aircraft cooperation unit, and Holden is recognised here as a veteran who flew the Spitfire during European operations. The card is printed with dark blue text and a matching double-line border on bright white cardstock. Transcribed text includes: SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE, No. 287 Squadron Royal Air Force, Practice makes perfect, and Flight Lieutenant (Sir) P. Holden. A printed authentication statement at the base confirms the signature was provided by a veteran who flew the Supermarine Spitfire while serving with No 287 Squadron in Europe.
Condition report:
The card is in excellent condition. The white cardstock is bright and free from foxing, staining, or discolouration. There are no tears, folds, or creases present. The ink signature is clear, bold, and shows no signs of fading.
