| "DescriptionUnder the cloak of extreme secrecy Britain had been testing the viability of a jet-powered fighter since early 1941 with the Gloster E2889 Pioneer proving that this was indeed possible The race was now on to produce an effective operational jet fighter at a time when every available resource was required for the war effort and experimental technology was a luxury that often proved to be more of a distraction Work continued apace and the twin engined Gloster Meteor neared a test flight This work was so highly classified that any test flight required the roads around the airfield to be sealed off by the local constabulary and all residents ushered away from the immediate vicinity All non-essential personnel were forced to leave the airfield for the duration of the test flight even though they would have clearly seen (and heard) the strange new aircraft once it was in the air! 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 Dimensions 22 x 76 x 222Scale 172Limited Edition YesLimited Edition Size 1500Wingspan 180mmAge Suitability 14"

| "The Westland Wessex HC2 was a licence built turbine powered development of the classic American Sikorski S-58 Helicopter one of the world&8217;s first truly capable helicopters and one which finally established these aircraft as amongst the most useful for both military and civilian applications XR500 was one of a batch or 4 HC2 helicopters delivered in advance of the type&8217;s acceptance into RAF service and was used by the Wessex Intensive Flying Trials Unit at RAF Odiham in preparation for its squadron introduction It was later one of the founding aircraft of the re-forming No18 Squadron the first operational unit to receive the Wessex HC2 in January 1964 It would later join No78 Squadron and from 1967 operate from the vital overseas base at Sharjah in the Trucial States (now part of the United Arab Emirates) where in conjunction with other RAF units it would help to ensure the ongoing stability of the region Wearing this particularly attractive scheme these hard working helicopters would transport troops and supplies around the region whilst also being on hand to provide flexible airborne support whenever called upon XR500 was written off in April 1979 when it crashed into Hong Kong harbour whilst undertaking a winching exercise in poor weather &8211; thankfully the crew all survived the experience Dimensions 202 x 78 x 153Scale 172Limited Edition YesLimited Edition Size 600Rotorspan 226mmAge Suitability 14"

| "Although the history of British aviation can boast many famous aeroplanes amongst its ranks there can be few that were as visually striking as the mighty Phantom FG1s of the Royal Navy which operated from the diminutive deck of HMS Ark Royal In the seconds prior to launch and whilst connected to the ship&8217;s steam catapult the aircraft&8217;s nose wheel oleo would be extended to its maximum 40 inch position giving the Phantom a distinct nose up attitude to increase the efficiency of engine thrust With steam rising eerily from the ships deck Navy Phantoms looked like a giant metal praying mantis ready to spring into action at a moment&8217;s notice With maximum afterburner selected and the engine power almost melting the ship&8217;s deck the Phantom was finally released from its shackles and roared into the air &8211; such a spectacular experience for anyone lucky enough to see it Although most of us will have only ever seen the operation of Ark Royal&8217;s Phantoms on video or in reference books these iconic images left such an indelible impression that Britain&8217;s Rolls Royce Spey powered Phantoms have since become something of an enigma and still command huge enthusiast interest to this day Dimensions 37 x 148 x 415Scale 148Limited Edition YesLimited Edition Size 2500Wingspan 244mmAge Suitability 14"
