Description
This wooden wall plaque puts a Spitfire centre stage, illustrated twice in brown and tan camouflage: once from overhead with its wings spread wide, and once side on, with KL B lettering and a roundel along the fuselage. Beneath the aircraft, SPITFIRE is printed in bold capitals over a neat panel of facts, from a crew of one and a first flight on 5 March 1936 to its introduction in 1938 and a last mission on 1 April 1954, alongside headings for the engine type, designer, top speed and wingspan. The light wood effect finish lets the natural grain run right through the design. It is A3, standing 42cm tall, 30cm wide and 2cm deep.
It suits a study, a hallway, a games room or a bedroom, anywhere an aviation fan would enjoy a closer look at a famous aircraft. At A3 it has real presence on a wall, yet the slim 2cm depth keeps it neat in a narrow corridor or over a desk. We think it makes a thoughtful Father's Day gift, and a fine present for dads and grandfathers who love aircraft, aviation history or the story behind a great machine.
The plaque is a single rectangular board with the design printed onto the front, and the back carries a sawtooth hanger centred at the top, so it goes up on one nail or picture hook and is easy to level. As general good practice for wood, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and damp. Hang it at eye level, where the panel of facts can be read with ease, or group it with family photographs of those who flew for a wall that sparks conversation.
