The souvenir's photo captures the iconic design and impressive profile of this vital military aircraft during active operations.

The Supermarine Stranraer (serial 920) stands as a magnificent and exceptionally rare surviving example of one of the world's last operational biplane flying boats. Built under license in 1940 by Canadian Vickers, this large twin-engine maritime patrol craft conducted vital anti-submarine warfare and coastal defense missions with the Royal Canadian Air Force throughout World War II. After a remarkably long post-war career in civilian service as the "Alaska Queen", this unique airframe was safely retired and permanently preserved as the absolute sole remaining complete survivor of its type.
