Description
This is a commemorative special edition card produced in the late 20th or early 21st century, honouring the Hawker Hurricane aircraft and the Royal Air Force No. 126 Squadron. The card is printed on white cardstock with a red double-line border and includes the squadron motto, “Foremost in Attack”. It is hand-signed in blue ink by Flight Lieutenant H.H. Moon, including a handwritten inscription: “Harry Moon / 126 SQN / ’42”. The printed text identifies the subject as the Hawker Hurricane and No. 126 Squadron, stating: “This Special Edition card has been personally signed by a Veteran who flew the Hawker Hurricane while serving with No. 126 Squadron during the Malta Campaign.” This item is historically significant as it commemorates the Siege of Malta (1940-1942), a critical theatre of the Second World War where No. 126 Squadron played a vital role in the island’s defence. Harry Moon is a documented pilot of the period, also known for his service with No. 249 Squadron. Dimensions: 152mm x 105mm.
