Used by the Royal Air Force during World War II, the Spitfire was designed to reach top speeds faster than their enemies, particularly the Luftwaffe’s Messerschmitt Bf 109E aircraft. The seven crew consisted of a pilot, flight engineer, navigator, bomb aimer/nose gunner, wireless operator, and mid-upper and rear gunner. One of the interesting aspects of this film is that Johnny provides the entire narrative telling the story in his own words, exactly as it happened. Furthermore the visual effects totally reflect this narrative. The visual interpretation of the narrative really helps the viewer understand and experience the events as Johnny describes them. For people who are looking for a historically accurate first-hand account, of what it was like to be a part of the Dambusters operation, brought to life with new visual effects, this film is for them. On 8th April 1943, the first of 21 modified type 464 ‘Provisioning’Avro Lancasters arrived at Scampton, with most featuring two under-fuselage spotlights and all having modified bomb bays. Within this modified bomb bay, these aircraft had been equipped with strong mounting arms and a drive mechanism on the starboard side to allow the ingenious ‘Upkeep'mine to be carried and delivered as required. Although often referred to as ‘Bouncing Bombs’, Upkeep resembled more of a large metal oil drum than anything else, but weighing in at just over 4 tonnes, this powerful mine was developed with one specific aim in mind, to destroy the supporting wall of a dam. Just a few days before the raid was due to take place, 56 of these Upkeep mines were delivered to Scampton, which must have been the cause of significant interest amongst the crews training hard on the ten standard Lancasters at the airfield. The Lancaster was above and beyond the most effective British heavy bomber of the Second World War.

Allied World War II forces claim that the Japanese referred to the Corsair as the 'Whistling Death' due to the distinctive sound of the air running through the slots in the wings. From the Spitfire to the Lancaster Bomber, these planes remain iconic thanks to an integral part they played in taking victory and models of these aircraft are highly popular for those interested in World War II aviation.

Table of ContentsThe Avro Lancaster could carry the largest bombs - including the 5,400 kg tallboy and the 10,000 kg Grand Slam earthquake bombs. Primarily a night bomber, the Lancaster was also an excellent daytime precision bomber. The Lancaster bomber is most famous for the Dambuster's raid on the Ruhr Valley using the specially-developed 'bouncing bombs' which inspired the 1955 film, The Dam Busters.

When Britain approached North American Aviation (NAA) during the war to build fighters for the Royal Air Force, they created their own design to modernise the fighter jet. The jet had streamlined wings that reduced the drag, increasing the plane's top speed and making it one of the best warplanes of World War II. Its original engine limited the plane's performance at high altitudes, but when its engine was replaced with a Rolls-Royce Merlin, the P-51 was transformed. During the Second World War, engineers were under pressure to deliver high-performing fighter planes, so they implemented impressive technological advancements, creating highly effective and iconic fighters and bombers. That being said, we never lost our love of aircraft or of owning scale representations of our favourite machines and as a return to plastic modelling was not an option for many of us, did Corgi now have the answer and could they come to our collecting rescue? With beautifully finished models now in 1/72nd scale and the appealing weight of die-cast as their trump card, this new series of larger models immediately found favour with thousands of aviation enthusiasts and brought new people into the ranks of the die-cast collecting hobby from 2000 onwards. The following year, an exciting and impressive new model was announced and if anyone was still sitting on the die-cast fence, this model had them jumping in feet first! Collecting scale model aeroplanes is a fantastic hobby, showcasing impressive graphics and precise attention to detail to deliver eye-catching display pieces in your home. With intricate detailing, model World War II aircraft are exceptional pieces to add to your collection or gift to other war aviation enthusiasts and come in a variety of scales to match your environment.
