Description
This cast aluminium plaque takes the shape of the RAF wings badge: a pair of outstretched feathered wings spreads out from a laurel wreath that holds the letters RAF, all topped by a crown. The wings and wreath have a gold plated finish, with navy blue lines tracing each feather and the lettering, while the crown is picked out in red with small jewel details across its band. It measures 28.9cm across, 10.1cm tall and 0.8cm deep, so the design reads clearly from across a room without crowding a wall.
We think it suits a study, a hallway, a den or a games room, and it sits as comfortably among framed photographs and old maps as it does on a plain painted wall. Its long, low outline fits neatly above a doorway, along a narrow strip of wall between shelves or over a desk, where the spread of the wings has room to show. It is a fine choice for a corner of the house given over to aviation memorabilia, and it adds a proud, historic note to any room where the RAF means something to the people who live there. It also makes a handsome gift.
The plaque is cast in aluminium, with the feathers, wreath and crown standing in raised relief against the gold. Two small holes sit in the wings, one on each side, so it can be fixed flat to a wall with screws suited to the wall it goes on. Care is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs more, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. Avoid polishes and abrasive cleaners, which can dull the painted detail. Hang it at eye level where light falls across the wings, and the raised feathers will show at their best.
