Description

This is a modern commemorative signature card produced to honour the history of the Hawker Hurricane and the No. 5 (Pilot) Advanced Flying Unit of the Royal Air Force. The card features an original hand-signed signature in black ink by Flight Lieutenant Rodney Scrase, DFC. Scrase was a notable Second World War veteran who flew Hurricanes and Spitfires, achieving ace status during his service in the Mediterranean theatre. The card is printed on high-quality white card stock with a blue double-line border. The printed text includes the headings HAWKER HURRICANE and No. 5 (Pilot) Advanced Flying Unit Royal Air Force, followed by the name Flight Lieutenant R.D. Scrase DFC. A paragraph at the base confirms that the card was personally signed by a veteran who flew the aircraft while serving with the unit in Europe. Such cards were typically produced in limited editions for aviation enthusiasts and collectors to preserve the history of RAF veterans. Dimensions: 150 mm x 105 mm.
