MUST MAKE ROOM FOR FUTURE FRENCH NAPOLEONICS !
On the selling block today - One great WARBIRD - ask Beaufighter
Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series AA34602
DeHavilland Mosquito Diecast Model
RAF No.544 Sqn, RAF Benson, England, D-Day June 6th 1944, (PR MkXVI)
Limited Edition
I have to let this Warbird go - So someone will be a big winner on this.
I would like to have $55.00 (less than half retail) + Shipping - their is no box - aircraft will be shipped Priority Mail. Payment must be PAYPAL.
If interested - Let me know by PM - first one in the PM Box gets the prize.
Here is some details on the aircraft:
:32 Scale Length Width
DeHavilland Mosquito 15.5" 20.25"
PR XVI NS502 of 544 Squadron was delivered on 23rd May 1944 and operated over Europe until it crashlanded on 21st February 1945. It then passed to Martin Hearn for repair and was eventually transferred to the Royal Navy at RNAS Fleetlands on 7th November 1947. 544 Squadron were involved heavily in the build up to d-Day and flew special rail sorties in daylight to France in an effort to detect any movement of Panzers towards the Normandy beachhead as early as possible. If any movement was spotted the crew had to land at Farnborough and give a verbal report to SHEAF HQ who would then send out interdiction bombing by 2nd TAF medium bombers. Their use throughout this period both before, during and after D-Day became integral in the success that followed and the aircraft were adorned with D-Day stripes around the fuselage and wings.
