Comment
The Royal Air Force Museum has two sites: Hendon (London) and Cosford. This token is from the Hendon site, which has six large hangars filled with aeroplanes and helicopters from both World Wars, the Cold War and beyond. The Spitfire is one of, if not the most, iconic aircraft employed by the Royal Air Force.The RAF Museum's website: https://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/london/
