Leonard Cheshire VC signed 1978 Coronation cover

Leonard Cheshire signed 1978 Coronation cover with BFPS postmark and 'flown in a Phantom' cachet.

He was the youngest group captain in the RAF, and one of the most highly decorated pilots of the war. The Victoria Cross is usually bestowed for a particularly event of bravery, but in Cheshire's case, was awarded for his behaviour over the course of his entire operational career.
