Art deco mug with Shoreham Airport and Chipmunk
This mug features a striking illustration of Shoreham Airport in Art Deco poster-style. Design by digital artist Vicky Vaughan, inspired by the Art Deco style architecture. This makes the perfect birthday, anniversary or Christmas gift for dads, husbands, uncles, sons, brothers and any special man in your life.
The airport, based in the parish of Lancing near Shoreham-by-Sea in Sussex was founded in 1910 and is the oldest purpose-built commercial airport in the UK. There has been much debate over its name and it is now officially known as Brighton City Airport. Many people, including the artist, still refer to it as Shoreham Airport.
Featured in the illustration is a de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk plane which was actually built in the 1950s and replaced the de Havilland Tiger Moth which was built in the 1930s which is officially the Art Deco period. However, artistic license is a wonderful thing! Watch out for the Tiger Moth version of this illustration ...
The Chipmunk is a tandem, two-seater single-engined trainer aircraft which was used by the Royal Canadian Airforce and the Royal Airforce through much of the post-Second World War years. There are over 500 DHC-1 Chipmunks which remain airworthy with more being rebuilt every year.
The flying plane is the DH89A Dragon Rapide which is constructed in wood and is a twin-engine biplane passenger aircraft. The first operator was Hillman Airways and it made its debut flight at Hatfield on 13 July 1934, averaging 158 mph in the King’s Cup Air Race, before having to retire due to hail damage. Find out more by visiting the de Havilland Museum website.

Great product, good delivery time, and an awesome idea for a gift! It was even better than I could have imagined, the customisation is incredible. The colour is perfect, it's dishwashable and microwaveable, the text print on the mug looks exactly like I wanted it to look and best of all, it's a large sized mug that you can drink plenty of coffee or whatever you want! I gifted this to my father and he loves it. He drinks coffee with that mug everyday :) I recommend.
