Aircraft stencil type

The Duxford Imperial War Museum holds a collection of over two hundred aircraft as well as tanks, military vehicles and boats. Its Aircraft Hall is home to over 30 aircraft including an iconic Spitfire, a legendary Lancaster and the fastest-ever Concorde. Aircraft stencilling is a classic way of applying typography to these machines. The numbers and letters are applied by specialist paint technicians, and are used to decorate, to raise warning, and to differentiate the aircrafts.
