Illuminated rectangular backglass set in a light honey-coloured wooden frame with a metal trim, showing a flat mid-century cartoon of an American airfield/racing scene. The upper left third is pale turquoise sky with big billowing white clouds; the upper right is a bright red-orange wall broken by two white mechanical score reels showing the digits 8 and 30, beside a small yellow star. A dark blue diagonal strip of boxed numerals runs across the upper third, reading 100 through 900 in yellow-outlined boxes of alternating red, green and blue. Centre right is a blue signboard banner: yellow cursive Williams above huge yellow slab-serif letters outlined in black on blue, reading SPITFIRE. Left of centre stands a tall red-and-white striped post topped with a small red plate reading MILLIONS. Three figures: a red-haired woman in a white flying helmet, yellow top and fringed tan breeches leaning on a white rail and holding a white megaphone; a blonde woman in a white headscarf, magenta blouse and lime-green skirt standing lower centre; a man in a white cap and shirt with a dark horse at the left edge. To the right a red van-like vehicle, a grey car nose with a 999 plate, and a small figure in a white cap. Teal, red, yellow, white.
