The cardstock sheet, bearing the Westminster logo, includes a colour photograph of the aircraft in flight, portraits of pilots, and extensive text detailing the history and technical specifications of the Tornado. The sheet is pre-punched for inclusion in a binder system. According to the printed text, the edition was limited to 25,000 pieces.
Condition report:
