Description
A Special Edition commemorative card dedicated to the Bristol Beaufighter and its service with No. 219 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The card features the squadron motto, From dusk till dawn, reflecting its operational role as a night fighter unit during the Second World War. This item is personally hand-signed in black ink by Flight Lieutenant William Terrence Michael Terry Clark, DFM, who has added the inscription 219 Sqn. below his signature.
