| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic commemorative scene marking the first aeroplane flight from a British warship. To the right, a uniformed naval officer rendered in bust form dominates the foreground, believed to represent a figure associated with early Royal Naval Air Service history. To the left, an early biplane is shown in flight above the deck of a British warship, the vessel's riveted hull and superstructure rendered in fine detail. The Fly Navy logo with a stylised ensign appears prominently in the upper centre of the field. The legend FIRST FLIGHT FROM A BRITISH SHIP arcs along the upper border, while the denomination FIVE POUNDS is displayed in a banner across the lower field. |
