Corgi WWII Me 110C -4-ZG52, Charleville, France, 1940 The Messerschmitt Bf 110 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 Pol&, Norway & France, where its high speed & 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 & this was exposed during the Battle of Britain when the Zerstorer pilots come up against the well organised Spitfires & Hurricanes of the RAF. They were easy prey for the British fighters & suffered such heavy losses that some BG110 units were withdrawn from the battle & redeployed as night fighters
- a role which was far better suited to the aircraft.

Corgi WWII Spitfire PR.XIX, PM361, RAF Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight, Coningsby, Lincs, 2009 Built in November 1945 as a high altitude photo reconnaissance aircraft with a Griffon 66 engine a pressurised cockpit, PM631 was too late to see operation service in the Second World War. She was delivered to the RAF in 1946 & issued to 203 Advanced Flying School in May 1949. Modified for meteorological work, she was flown with the Temperature & Humidity Monitoring (THUM) Flight based at Hooton Park & Woodvale. On 11th July 1957, in formation with Spitfires PS853 & PS915, the aircraft was flown to Biggin Hill to form the Historic Aircraft Flight which later developed into the BBMF. PM631 has remained in flying condition with the Flight & is the BBMFs longest serving aircraft, with 2008 having been her 51st year of continuous service. PM631 is painted as an early PRXIX of 541 Squadron which performed high altitude reconnaissance missions over the European theatre from 1944 to the end of the War. Appropriately, the 541 Squadron’s motto was Alone Above All. Spitfire PRXIXs were unarmed but could fly at 370mph at 40, 000 feet (with pressurised cockpits) & had a range of 1, 500 miles, demonstrating the incredible development potential of the original Spitfire design. ...

Corgi WWII Spitfire PRXIX (AA38704)

Corgi WWII Spitfire PRXIX - PS915 The Last - Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight, Coningsby, Lincs PS915 entered service just too late for the war, joining 541 Squadron at Benson in June 1945 before moving to the PR Development Unit to take part in tests of new cameras. Assigned to 2 Squadron at Wunsdorf in Germany she later flew strategic reconnaissance sorties in connection with the East/West divide of Europe. She was returned to the UK in 1951, moving to 9 MU at Cosford before joining the THUM Flight at Woodvale in 1954. In 1957, PS915 became a founder member of the Historic Aircraft Flight, the forerunner of the BBMF, but was quickly retired to gate-guardian duties, serving in that capacity for nearly 30 years at West Malling, Leuchars and Brawdy. She re-joined the BBMF in 1987
after being modified to take an ex-Shackleton Griffon 58 engine and refurbished to 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.
