This lot comprises a varied collection of British military and aviation-related memorabilia and ephemera. Included is a brass-toned model of a twin-engine aircraft resembling a De Havilland Mosquito. The collection features a commemorative cross pattée medal for the Battle of Jutland, inscribed 31 MAY 1916. Aviation-specific items include two Dam Busters 70th Anniversary keyrings and a sticker, an RAF Finningley Air Show badge, and a Royal Air Forces Association pin. Printed ephemera includes an R.A.F. Badges booklet, a factsheet titled THE AWARD – INTERESTING FACTS concerning the Victoria Cross, and a boxed set of Second World War 1939-1945 Historic Art Poster Playing Cards. The lot also contains several black and white portrait photographs of servicemen in uniform, promotional brochures for Ashworth Barracks Museum, a Friends of the El Adem Radio Service membership card, and an embroidered 1984 Olympic Appeal patch. A yellow die-cast vintage car model and a United Kingdom Fifty Pence coin folder are also present. Much of the ephemera appears to be of the type included as facsimile documents in interactive historical publications.
