This is a 1938 Aviator’s Certificate, issued by The Royal Aero Club in 1938.
It is quite small, some 4¼inches by 3 inches (11cm x 7.5cm), with a leather cover.
On the second page the holder’s name and date of issue, together with the certificate number have been written in by hand. The handwriting is the most exquisite example of ‘copper-plate’ hand written work.
Looking at the date, 1938, I often wonder if Mr Taylor became an RAF pilot in WW2
