We are always interested in purchasing a collection of rare quality or an individual special cover. Just contact us either by email or telephone. We’ll be delighted to talk to you.

What is a flown cover?

Issued by a dealer, charity or common interest group normally depicting a design on the front relevant to a specific subject or person, in our case that is usually the RAF. To qualify as flown it will have been flown on an aircraft and those details are usually described on the cover.

Covers vary in the type and number of signatures displayed.
i. Rare signature/s
ii. Pilot/Crew signed
iii. Unsigned covers

Are the signatures genuine?

On our site Yes.

Be very careful when buying from online auction houses because the counterfeiters are out there! We only sell original covers and our lengthy experience with signatures means that we offer a ‘no quibble’ return policy if you ever have a doubt.

We would add that in all our year’s of trading we have never had a cover returned for this reason.
