Sir Peter Parker British Rail John Alderson CBE Policeman Hand Signed Photo

SMATZN  A large collectors mounted (adhered to card so cannot be removed) 10" x 8" photo of Sir Peter Parker former chairman of British Rail during the 1980s personally autographed where his signature rests perfectly accompanying his portrait in mint condition.

On the reverse is a letter from the Chief Constable's Office for John Alderson CBE famous policeman from the 1980s who was awarded the Queen's Police Medal (QPM) in 1974 and appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1981. This a great double autograph opportunity. John Alderson's signature is very hard to find and you will never source better than on his official office headed paper from 1982.
