Prints :: Scenes of the Battle of Britain
A collection of 12 limited edition prints (originally 525 of each), printed on heavyweight art paper. Produced in 1990, there are only a small number still available.
Set No.1 was presented to Her Majesty The Queen Mother at Clarence House in London, and supported by the Daily Telegraph, the initial sales of these prints raised £100,000 in support of the RAF Benevolent Fund 'Reach for the Sky' appeal.
Each print is individually signed by four Battle of Britain pilots. Sadly, since 1990 a large number of these pilots have died. These signatures are now extremely rare. They are not reproductions.
Each print is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
