| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a commemorative scene honouring the Berlin Airlift of 1948–49. In the upper portion of the field, a finely detailed Douglas C-47 Dakota transport aircraft is shown in flight, with a second aircraft visible in the middle distance below it. In the lower foreground, a group of Berlin civilians are shown from behind, waving and gesturing upward toward the approaching aircraft, evoking the gratitude of the blockaded population. The legend 'HISTORY OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE' arcs across the upper periphery, 'BERLIN AIRLIFT 1948-49' appears in the right field, and 'FIVE POUNDS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. |
