A RARE OPPORTUNITY, GROWING RARER
In the summer of 1940, the fate of Britain was in their hands. They risked their lives daily, facing up to the seemingly unstoppable Luftwaffe. Against all odds, they succeeded, averting the threat of invasion and paving the way for ultimate victory. Then they were "The Few" now they are even fewer. And today you have the rare and very limited opportunity to own a stunning tribute, personally hand-signed by the ten men pictured above who fought in the Battle of Britain nearly 70 years ago.
A UNIQUE LINK TO THE MOST VITAL BATTLE IN OUR HISTORY
The "Honouring The Few" Signed and Flown Cover Collection is the result of a great effort to bring together some of the remaining brave warriors who played a decisive role in the Battle of Britain. The collection comprises 10 covers, each featuring a portrait of the pilot alongside their original signature, giving you an extra special and rare piece of history that will never be repeated.
ROYAL MAIL STAMPS AND EXCLUSIVE CUSTOMISED LABELS
The covers are each affixed with a Royal Mail Union Flag 1st Class stamp alongside an exclusive customised label which carries an image of the matching pilot. The stamps are all postmarked 10th July 2008 (the precise anniversary of the Battle of Britain) and the location is Capel le Ferne, Kent, which is the site of the Battle of Britain memorial. As one final unique memento, your covers will be flown on the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's Avro Lancaster - one of only two surviving flying examples in the world. Your collection comes with display pages, information cards and a display album.
The edition limit is very small - just 495 will ever be issued and your Certificate of Authenticity guarantees this tiny edition limit. Considering that this is an essential commemorative for the many thousands of RAF and Battle of Britain collectors, we fully expect a sell out. Order today to avoid missing out!
