On the same sheet lines as the Ordnance Survey quarter-inch Fourth Edition maps, these maps have purple layering designed for use in low light planes.
Each map has the War Office Cassini grid in purple and is overprinted with red aeronautical symbols showing information useful to pilots (aerodromes, airports, air lights, prohibited areas, golf courses etc.)
Map grades are given on a scale 1 to 5, excellent to sad (see Condition link in left column). Sheets might be slightly dusty in places, have small annotations or flight paths.
All are paper folded : pf.
