Description
This is a modern commemorative Special Edition signature card produced to honour the De Havilland Mosquito aircraft and the personnel of No. 608 (North Riding) Squadron, Royal Auxiliary Air Force. The card features a hand-signed autograph in black ink by Flight Lieutenant H.E. Ted Dunford, DFC. Historically, the Mosquito was a vital British multi-role aircraft known as the Wooden Wonder, and No. 608 Squadron was a significant unit within the Light Night Striking Force of Bomber Command during the Second World War. The card includes the squadron motto, With all talons. Text on the card reads: DE HAVILLAND MOSQUITO, No. 608 (North Riding) Squadron Royal Auxilliary Air Force, With all talons, Flight Lieutenant H.E. Dunford DFC. It further notes that the card was personally signed by a veteran who flew the Mosquito in Europe. The card was likely produced as part of a limited series for aviation enthusiasts and collectors of RAF history in the late 20th century. Dimensions: 152mm x 102mm.
