The Spitfire MkV was one
of the most successful

ever introduced into the
Royal Air Force, having
been rushed into service
following experiences
up against the Bf109s
of the Luftwaffe. Over
one hundred and forty

development of the Spitfire and indeed of piston engine aircraft,
demonstrating the incredible development potential of the original
Spitfire design.

valiant
The Vickers-Armstrongs Valiant was a British four-jet bomber,
once part of the Royal Air Forces V bomber force. As the Valiant
was an entirely new class of aircraft for the RAF, 232 Operational
Conversion Unit was established at RAF Gaydon.
The first operational RAF unit to be equipped with the Valiant was 138 Squadron, also
at RAF Gaydon, though it later moved to RAF Wittering. At its peak, the Valiant equipped
at least seven RAF squadrons.
A Valiant B.1 (WZ366) of No 49 Squadron (captained by Squadron Leader E.J.G. Flavell AFC) was
the first RAF aircraft to drop a British operational atomic bomb when it performed a test drop of a
down-rated Blue Danube weapon on Maralinga, South Australia, on 11 October 1956. It was the
last time the V-bombers flew a war mission until Avro Vulcans bombed Port Stanley airfield in the
Falkland Islands during the Falklands War in 1982.

Vickers Valiant
The Valiant was the first of the V-bombers to see combat,
during the Anglo-French-Israeli Suez intervention in October and
November 1956. During Operation Musketeer, Valiants operating
from the airfield at Luqa on Malta dropped conventional HE
bombs on Egyptian targets. Also On May 15, 1957 a 49
Squadron Valiant B(K).1 dropped the first British hydrogen
bomb, the Short Granite (AKA Green Granite Small), over the
Pacific as part of Operation Grapple.

Heinkel HeIII
In the years immediately following WWII it became traditional for a Spitfire and Hurricane
to lead the Victory Day flypast over London. From that event there grew the idea to form
an historic collection of flyable aircraft, initially to commemorate the RAFs major battle
honour, The Battle of Britain, and latterly with broadened scope, to commemorate the
RAFs involvement in all the campaigns of WWII. Thus in 1957 the Historic Aircraft Flight
was formed at Biggin Hill. This today is known as the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, now
based at RAF Conningsby, Lincolnshire and Airfix are proud to be associated with this
marvellous tribute to all the aircrews that served with great courage during WWII.

C47 Berlin Airlift
Following the Soviet Unions
decision to put pressure on the
Western Allies, shipments of goods
by rail and the autobahn came to
a halt. A desperate Berlin looked
to the West for help. Surviving a
normally harsh German winter, the
airlift carried over two million tonnes
of supplies in 270,000 flights. The
blockade was finally lifted on May
12th 1949.

In 1997, a small team headed by Dr Robert Pleming started

was clear from the start that the project would be technically
challenging & enormously expensive. Never deterred, the team
set off down the path that led to XH558s return to the air.
