After a brief period operating over France in the week after D-Day, the Tempest Wing was withdrawn to deal with the V-1 Flying Bomb. The Tempest was judged to have the best chance of catching this new weapon, capable of matching its speed at low level. Between June & August 1944, Tempest pilots claimed 800 of the 1, 771 V-1s shot down by the RAF, 638 of them by the Newchurch Wing alone. Specification: Model Scale 1:72 Number of Parts 45
