JS(CC)67c RAF cover showing a Coastal Command Vickers Wellington of No 36 Squadron over a German Type VII U-Boat bearing a single Royal Mail Submarine stamp cancelled on the first day of issue with our BFPS sponsored postmark for the Centenary of the Royal Navy Submarine Service 1901-2001.

This cover has been personally signed by Wing Commander George Williams CBE, who joined the RAF in September 1939 and completed his first tour with Coastal Command on No 53 Squadron. He joined No 608 Squadron for his second tour and during this time attacked and damaged U-595. He then served with the North African Coastal Air Forces HQ in Algiers, where he invented the 'Operation Swamp' tactics, which were very successfully employed. In June 1944 he was promoted to Wing Commander and appointed to command No 36 Squadron flying Wellington XIVs through to the end of the war. (100 Signed, numbered and certified)
