This is a superb and an exceptionally rare item! An original reunion programme / order of service. To honour the 90th birthday of Marshal Of The Royal Air Force Sir Arthur T. Royal Air Force Bomber Command Reunion Dinner. Chief guest of honour Marshal of the air force. Commander in chief, bomber command 1942-45. In the presence of H. H Princess Alice Duchess of Gloucester. United States Army Air Force. At Grosvenor house, Park Lane, London. Saturday 1st May, 1982. So as you can see, this is no ordinary item! Inside there is a menu and toasts to various people. One the back page it has the guest list. To add to the value of this item there are 3 original signatures. Air commander Charles Clarke O. E – Who was a POW in Stalag Luft 3 at the time of the Great Escape! The other 2 signatures are hard to make out, but I can see that one was a air gunner with 196 Squadron and the other has a Distinguished Flying Cross D. C 9 SQD 158 SQD. This is a truly superb piece and was already an extremely scarce item in 1982. Over time many will have been lost and thrown out, some will have also been left on the evening. Front cover measurements: 255 x 190mm. Feedback says it all really. My descriptions are accurate as possible but please feel free to ask on anything not mentioned or for more pictures. I appreciate that cash can be a issue! See something you like? Don’t have the funds at the moment?
