Corgi Spitfire MK XIV -
91 Sqn RAF, Flt. Lt. H.
D. Johnson, West
Malling, July 1944
(AA38701) The
introduction of the
powerful 2, 035hb Griffon
engined Spitfire MK XIV
saw a performance
improvement at all
altitudes over the
earlier Merlin engined
variants. It gave the
Spitfire a significant
advantage over the German
FW190A and it also made
it ideal for tackling the
menace of the V1 buzz
bomb flying bombs. No. 91
Sqn, based at West
Malling, achieved the
best record against the
flying bomb, shooting
down 184 with its Mk
XIVs. One of the
Squadrons most successful
pilots during the V1
campaign was Flt. Lt. H.
D. Johnny Johnson. In
total he claimed 13.5
destroyed with his first,
shared, kill being in a
Spitfire Mk XIV RB188 on
23rd June 1944. He
brought down a further
four V1s in the same
aircraft which bore the
distinctive nose art of a
naked lady riding a V1.
RB188 later served with
130 and 350 Sqns in
Europe and was
transferred to Thailand
after the War. This
limited edition model
from Corgi is part of the
highly collectable
Aviation Archive range of
die-cast model aircraft.
Scales include 1:48,
1:72 and 1:144 and
features aeroplanes from

Douglas DC-3 – BEA
(British European
Airways) (London Heathrow
Airport - 1959) (AA38202)
British European Airways
(BEA) was officially
formed on 1st April 1946
with aircraft leased from
BOAC. On 1st February
1947, various other
airliners were taken over
resulting in the first of
BEA’s DC-3s being
operated from Northolt,
before the airline moved
to Heathrow. The
venerable DC-3 (perhaps
better known as the
Dakota) was the mainstay
of BEA from when the
first was purchased in
1946 until the mid-1950s,
remaining in service
until the last was
withdrawn on 19th May
1962. In all, some 70
DC-3s were leased or
owned by BEA including
G-AHCZ, which was a
MkIII built in Oklahoma
City and delivered to
BOAC in 1946. It was
transferred to BEA in
1947 and named ‘Charles
Samson’, becoming a
‘Pionair’ Class DC-3
with modifications
including an air-stair
door. It flew the last
BEA service between
Northolt and Jersey in
1954 and was transferred
to Cambrian Airways in
1959. This limited

Oberlieutant Wolfgang
Schnaufer, St. Trond,
Feb 1994 The
Messerschmitt Bf110
served in the early
rounds of the war. The
aircrafts lack of agility
in the air was exposed as
its primary weakness
during the Battle of
Britain, when some Bf110
equipped units were
withdrawn from the battle
after very heavy losses
and redeployed as night
fighters, a role to
which the aircraft was
well suited.The Bf110
enjoyed a successful
period following the
defeat over Britain as an
air superiority fighter
and strike aircraft.
Later in the war it was
changed further to night
fighter operations, and
it became the major night
fighter type of the
Luftwaffe.Heinz-Wolfgang
Schnaufer (16th February
1922 - 15th July 1950) is
considered one of the top
night fighter Luftwaffe
aces of all time. All his
121 victories recorded in
just 164 combat missions
were scored at night and
he was nicknamed The
Night Ghost of St. Trond.
His victory total
includes 114 RAF bombers;
accounting for more RAF
casualties than any other
Luftwaffe ace and
becoming the third
highest Luftwaffe
claimant against the
Western Allied Forces

Corgi Fokker DVII - Jasta
4, Ltn Ernst Udet, June
1918 (AA38902) After
rejection by the German
Army for being too small,
Ernst Udet volunteered
as a motorcycle dispatch
rider before realising
his dream of joining the
German Air Service in
1915. Initially an
observer, Udet became a
pilot achieving 62
victories and commanding
Jastas 4, 11 and 37. His
awards included the
‘Iron Cross’ and
‘Blue Max’. This
Fokker DVII is from Jasta
4 and wears one of
Udet’s more colourful
schemes. The inscription
‘LO!’ on the fuselage
is in honour of his
girlfriend and the ‘Du
Doch Nicht!!’ on the
tail roughly translates
to ‘Surely Not You!!’
a taunt to opponents.
Ironically, Udet had to
make his escape from this
plane using one of the
newly introduced
‘Heinecke’
parachutes. After the war
Udet became a stunt and
race flyer. In 1934 he
accepted a role within
the recently formed
Luftwaffe and was
promoted to Generaloberst
in 1940. He soon fell
from favour being made a
scapegoat for various
Luftwaffe failures
including defeat in the
Battle of Britain and
Udet felt pressured
enough to commit suicide
in November 1941. This

being modified to take an

flying condition by
British Aerospace (Warton
Division).PS915 currently
wears the colour scheme
and markings of PS888, a
PRXIX of 81 Squadron
based at Seletar in
Singapore during the
Malaya Campaign. This
aircraft conducted the
last ever operational
sortie by an RAF Spitfire
when, on 1 April 1954,
it flew a photographic
mission over an area of
jungle in Johore thought
to contain hideouts for
Communist guerrillas. For
the occasion the
aircraft’s ground crew
painted the inscription
‘The Last!’ on the
left engine cowling. The
longevity of the Spitfire
design is evident, as
the aircraft type which
first entered service in
1938 was still serving
operationally with the
RAF 16 years later
despite rapid
developments in the
performance of military
aircraft during that
time.

Corgi WWII Me110C
-4-ZG52, Charleville,
France, 1940 The
Messerschmitt Bf110 was a
twin engine heavy fighter
known to the Luftwaffer
as the Zerstorer
(Destroyer). It proved
devastatingly effective
during the early months
of the Second World War,
as the Luftwaffe swept
through Poland, Norway
and France, where its
high speed and
concentrated firepower
made it the ideal support
aircraft for bombing
raids into enemy
territory.The aircrafts
lack of agility in the
air was its main weakness
and this was exposed
during the Battle of
Britain when the
Zerstorer pilots come up
against the well
organised Spitfires and
Hurricanes of the RAF.
They were easy prey for
the British fighters and
suffered such heavy
losses that some BG110
units were withdrawn from
the battle and redeployed
as night fighters - a
role which was far better
suited to the aircraft.

ultimately proved to be
distractions, the most
obvious being the

chassis, but with a
wider track, new rack

the previously optional

common epithet white van
man is popularly
acknowledged as being
invented by BBC Radio 2s
early morning presenter
Sarah Kennedy during the
mid-1990s. Vans have been

cheaper and facilitates

Although not all white

Transit has become a
metonym for van, and
justifiably so as over 6
million have been sold
since 1965. Ironically it
was only named Transit at
the last minute when Ford
UK Chairman Bill Batty
saw the word on a German
bound pilot-build vehicle
and knew he had found the
new vehicles name.This
cheeky little
interpretation of a white
van in not an un-common
sight on our roads, the
British weather is
perfect for mucking up
our cars and vans and
encouraging another type
of sign writing,
"Clean Me!",
"Wot no sponge"

founded the business. Tom
Fire, one of the
brothers drove trucks
during the Great War and
from this recognised that
there was money to be
made in transportation of
goods. By the 1930s the
brothers were running
motor lorries of their
own, plying their trade
as hauliers of hay,
livestock feeds and coal.
By 1957 Tom Fire had
secured a contract with
Bradwell Boilers which
gave them their famous
name in the heavy haulage
industry. As well as
this, Sunter Brothers
were also used to
transport large
construction vehicles
making this model an
ideal companion to the
RB19 and Coles Crane.
