This postcard captures the intricate beauty of the RAF Chapel, where sunlight filters through the stained glass of the Battle of Britain window, casting jewel-like patterns over the altar and stone tracery. Designed to honour those who served in the RAF during the pivotal 1940 conflict, the window blends heraldic motifs, aircraft imagery, and vivid symbolism into a solemn tribute.

Published by Golden Shield for FISA, the card bears the printed caption in multiple languages, making it a true souvenir for international visitors. The photograph’s fine detail brings out the delicate craftsmanship of the carved stonework and the gold-adorned altar frontal. Standard size, approx. 4 x 5⅞ in (about 10.2 x 15 cm). In decent vintage condition with only light signs of handling.

For collectors of military memorials, stained glass art, or Westminster Abbey ephemera, this piece holds both artistic and historical resonance.
