Description

A lovely limited edition & numbered postal cover depicting the amazing Vickers Viscount. Each cover is numbered and ARD have been lucky enough to acquire just 15 of them. Each one is signed by the pilot of the Chipmunk and only 200 of this version exist. The accompanying blurb below explains their purpose:

'On Sunday 16th July 2023 I was flown along the disused runway at Wisley Airfield in Surrey in a DHC Chipmunk where exactly 75 years previously, the first Vickers Viscount made its first flight. We were carrying 200 specially designed postal covers that feature a Jersey postage stamp showing Viscount G-APIM of British Air Ferries in flight. This aircraft, named "Viscount Stephen Piercey", is preserved at Brooklands Museum. Two different covers are available, one signed by the pilot and the artist who painted the stamp and some just signed by the pilot. All profits from their sale goes towards the continued preservation of G-APIM'.

The covers are not expensive, single signatures are £5 plus P&P and double signatures (only 75 produced) are £10 plus P&P.

Thanks for reading.
