Typewriter Trials / Royal Diana

1959 Royal Diana DTP 86766

It really is a beautiful typewriter, if painted in a dull way, and it's so quiet and smooth--you want it to type like the best. But it doesn't.

I forgot I did bring up the whole air force deployment thing back when he left. The context helps.

Interesting how it includes both the old and new logos.

I realised a day after I got it that it was missing the back Skyriter name panel by the bunny ears. If anybody has one they could spare that is in the beige colour, let me know! Also, I have found a new method to take better photos. I've set up a mini-studio with a grey blanket that helps my camera take better photos, somehow. They look pretty sharp against the darker background.
