| "As its history was very much connected to British requirements it is no surprise that the Mustang was used extensively by the Royal Air Force during WWII from the early Allison powered Mustang I to the Dallas produced Packard Merlin powered IVa The final victory for a WWII RAF Mustang belonged to Norwegian ace Werner Christie who was flying his personal machine KH790 Following the conclusion of a successful bomber escort mission over Germany Christie led his Mustangs in search of Luftwaffe fighters Flying above Finow airfield he noticed a flight of Fw 190s and immediately dived to attack His first burst of fire caught the wing of an unsuspecting Focke Wulf blowing half of the wing off and sending the fighter spiralling into the ground This would be Christie&8217;s eleventh and final victory of the war Regarded as one of the most successful aircraft of all time and something of an American classic the Mustang actually came into production following a British requirement for additional fighters Rather than licence build the Curtiss P-40 fighters the British were looking for North American Aviation promised a totally new aircraft which would be superior to the P-40 A proud boast from this relatively new manufacturer but could they pull it off? In record time they built a prototype aircraft which showed great promise and the British immediately placed a large order Originally powered by the American Allison V-1710 engine the Mustang I was faster than the Spitfire and possessed greater range but at higher altitudes the performance significantly dropped off In an attempt to rectify this deficiency the Mustang was married with the successful and combat proven Rolls-Royce Merlin engine and the rest is history &8211; the Merlin powered Mustang was a superb fighting aeroplane Dimensions221 x 75 x 221Scale172Limited EditionYesLimited Edition Size1300Wingspan155mmAge Suitability14"

Following completion of the flight and the safe recovery of the aircraft life could get back to normal As the Gloster Meteor entered RAF service it was originally charged with destroying the V-1 flying bombs that were being sent indiscriminately in the direction of southern Britain The first Meteor victory over a Doodlebug occurred on the 4th August 1944 when Flying Officer TD &8216;Dixie&8217; Dean spotted a V-1 flying in the direction of Tunbridge Wells Placing his Meteor EE216 in a shallow dive to build up speed he lined up the V-1 in his gunsight and fired &8211; after a short burst all four guns jammed Dean was determined not to let the Doodlebug get away and manoeuvred his Meteor alongside the flying bomb wing tip to wing tip When he was positioned as close as he safely could he flicked the control column of his Meteor and banked sharply away &8211; the sudden airflow disruption caused the V-1 to go out of control and crash without causing injury on open ground Dean had the first Meteor victory over the V-1 and was the first pilot to use the risky &8216;tip and run&8217; tactic to destroy one these feared flying bombs Dimensions22 x 76 x 222Scale172Limited EditionYesLimited Edition Size1500Wingspan180mmAge Suitability14"
