8x10 inch photo from the classic 1954 war movie 'The Dambusters', the true story of the raid by 617 Squadron RAF on the Mohne, Eder and Sorpe Dams of Germany on 17th May 1943, codenamed 'Operation Chastise'. Signed by actor Richard Todd, (1919-2009) who played Guy Gibson in the movie. Before he signed this, I asked if he would add a quote from the scene and he agreed to add 'We're going to bomb the great dams of Western Germany' above his signature.
He signed approximately 20 in this way, exclusively for us.
A VERY RARE PIECE OF DAMBUSTERS MEMORABILIA! Once these have gone, there's no more with this exclusive additional text.
Over the past few years, we have held several signings with Richard Todd, both at his home and at memorabilia events such as the NEC and Autographica where we have arranged for him to appear and autograph items for the public.
Due to our close relationship with Mr Todd, we had access to some wonderful signed collectables and this item will come with our Certificate of Authenticity which along with a biography of Richard Todd, will encorporate a photo of him signing your item!
Not only do we tell you it's authentic, we show you!
