Description
A commemorative Special Edition card relating to the Hawker Hunter transonic jet fighter and No. 63 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. The document is produced on white cardstock with a printed decorative border and blue typography. It features the squadron motto, Follow us to find the enemy, which is the English translation of the unit’s official Latin motto, Punit in hostem. The piece is hand-signed in ink by Flight Lieutenant Roger Wilkins, a veteran pilot who flew the Hawker Hunter with No. 63 Squadron during its service in Europe. No. 63 Squadron is historically noted for operating the Hunter F.6 variant from RAF Waterbeach during the late 1950s, a critical period in British Cold War aviation history. This item represents a personal link to the history of the RAF and the transition into the jet age. Measurements: Approx. 150mm x 105mm.
