The paraplane on the card is most likely the 1949 version because the newest the card could be is 1956, more likely a year of two earlier.

They need to brush up on their aircraft recognition. The "Supermarine Swift" is actually a Hawker Hunter.

Good shots!

Also the F-86 is not a D model, but the description on the back fits the F model on the front. What do you expect for a penny?

Brilliant, Ed. Great to see this collection.

Also the F-86 is not a D model, but the description on the back fits the F model on the front. What do you expect for a penny?

True enough, so they can be forgiven for listing No.30 as a "Supermarine Swift" when it's a Hawker Hunter, but then No.76 is a "Swift", so maybe they realised they'd already used the name...
