A large format aircraft recognition poster showing the Convair 880, a short lived competitor of the vastly more successful Boeing 707. The aircraft was in service from 1959 to 1962.

This poster was designed for the military for display within the confines of RAF stations – very few survive today.

The poster has a central fold and shows its age (see images) with nicks, creases and any small edge tears stabilised on the reverse with light, archival tape. The poster is unbacked.
