As an Aviation artist, I had cause to produce the small print edition of a Westland Aircraft, all of which were signed by Harald Penrose. There was a small overrun, each of which was signed.
The print run having been satisfied, I am left with a handful of the Penrose autograph.
These I have cut out to take the form of labels measuring “2 x 1”.
I intend to offer them to anyone operating a Westland fixed-wing aircraft, provided that they are prepared to mount it in the cockpit.
The idea is that Harald will still be flying the aircraft in spirit.
I have four such labels, and I would like to see them mounted in some of the more prominent airworthy Lysanders or Widgeons known to exist.
They will be offered on a ‘First come, first served basis, as a gift, without any conditions other than the intention to mount it in the appropriate aircraft .
If the recipients feel that they wish to express their gratitude, a modest donation to the Whirlwind replica project would be appreciated, it is not mandatory.
