Corgi Flying Aces Supermarine Spitfire Aircraft Die Cast Model

Considered by many as the most famous airplane ever, the Supermarine Spitfire was among the first all-metal monoplane fighters at a time when many air forces worldwide still equipped with biplane designs. It earned its reputation during the aerial battles of the Battle of Britain and continued to serve throughout World War II, becoming the only Allied fighter produced continuously during the war. Its distinctive elliptical wing made the Spitfire easily recognisable, and despite its elegant appearance, it was a formidable combat aircraft that was constantly upgraded to remain competitive in the skies. After World War II, the iconic Spitfire became popular among private collectors globally and a favourite at airshows. Many have been restored to flying condition, and today, there are likely more Spitfires flying today than at any time since the end of WWII. They are expected to play a prominent role in this year’s 80th Anniversary commemorations of the Battle of Britain.
