Codenamed Operation Chastise the raid involved flying 19 specially modified Avro Lancaster bombers at low level across hostile territory to deliver their payloads of unique bouncing bombs that in theory, skipped across the dam waters, and would explode at a set depth to create such force as to breech the dams... Dambusters Special Feature 3 The Dambusters as they became famously known afterwards, breeched two of the target dams, the Möhne and Eder, losing ten of the nineteen crews that set off, to defensive gun fire and ground collisions. The raid provided a massive morale boost for the British people and Gibson, who was later awarded a VC for gallantry, became a national hero. Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC, DSO & Bar, DFC & Bar Roy Chadwick CBE Sir Barnes Wallis 1889-1979 When war broke out in 1939, Wallis turned his attention to what he could do for Britain in defeating the axis powers. Both Vickers and the air ministry were anxious that Wallis continue his work on aeroplane development. However he spent much of his spare time pursuing ideas which lead to Upkeep (bouncing bomb) and later Tallboy and Grandslam. id the ra 16th May 1943 2 21:28 On the 16th of May at 21:28 hours, aircraft of No. 2 flight, took off from RAF Scampton followed at 21:39 hours by No. 1 flight. The RAF logo is a trademark of the UK Secretary of State for Defence and is used under license 17th May 1943 00:09 All 19 Lancasters were in the air, with the first of No.1 flight crossing the Dutch coast at 00:09 hours. 17th May 1943 1893-1947 He was considered as one of the worlds greatest designers with aircraft such as the AVRO; 504 Baby, Anson, Lancaster, Lincoln, Tudor, York, Shackledon and later the AVRO 698 which became known as the Vulcan which had revolutionary delta wing design (used in Concorde) and was a front line aircraft for the RAF for over 30 years. 00:56 No. 1 flight arrived over the Möhne lake and Gibson’s aircraft (G for George) made the first run. After 5 runs and the loss of a Lancaster the Möhne Dam was breached by Dave Maltby (J for Johnny). 17th May 1943 1918-1944 Gibson flew only the Dambusters raid with 617 Squadron despite them flying more precision bombing missions after. The success of the Dambusters eclipsed Gibson’s previous outstanding record and gave him a place in history. He was awarded the Victoria Cross; the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy. He was now the most highly decorated pilot in the RAF and a national hero. 06:15 Only 9 of the 19 Lancasters returned to RAF Scampton, the last touched down at 06:15.

Every kit box contains a wealth of information to help you choose the best kit for you AND help you achieve the best finish. 3 Starter Sets Gift Sets Classic Kits Are ideal for beginners and include glue, paint and brushes with one finish option. Are ideal for more advanced modellers and include glue, paint and brushes and in some cases have multiple finish options. A kit on its own without glue, paint and brushes. Available in multiple finish options depending on the kit series. 1 PProduct code The product code is unique to each kit and helps you identify the kit of choice easily, assists you to navigate through the Airfix website accurately, determines the size of the kit and usually the number of parts. The Classic Kits product code also helps you to understand the size of the model via the series system. The kit series starts at 1 through to 25 (the higher number the larger the kit). The first two digits after the later ‘A’ determine the series of the kit. The example product code left A05134 is Series 5. 2 SScale The scale of the kit shows how large the model will be in relation to the original. A 1:72 scale kit therefore is 72x smaller than the original (1:48 = 48x smaller). The smaller the scale number – eg 1:24 = the larger the kit compared to the original. 3 SSkill level The skill level, from 1 to 4, explains how difficult the model will be. A higher skill level kit often has more parts and is more challenging to build. 4 The side profiles on the front show how many kit options are possible and what they will look like (also shown throughout Catalogue). 4 6 5 2 8 5 PPaint list The paint list shows and explains the recommended list of Humbrol™ paints on each box that enable you to create the best finish to your model (Please note, this area is on classic kits only. However, a full list of Humbrol™ paints required are in the kit instructions). 6 FFlying Hours 1 Become a member of the Airfix club and you can collect your Flying hours to receive free model kits.

The Spitfire’s superior speed and firepower often won the day, but the power of the Messerschmitt and the skill of it’s crew could never be underestimated. On May 21st 1982 during the Falklands War, Skyhawk A-4P (A-307) was shot down by an AIM9L air-to-air missile fired by Sea Harrier FRS.1 (XA457) of 800 Squadron.

This pair of new models re-creates the battle. “The Spitfire had the edge over the 109 in speed and climb, and particularly in turning circle. He went on pulling round as sharply as he could. I followed him without any difficulty and went on firing bursts at him. There were puffs of black smoke and then a trail of white vapour streamed from his aircraft” This actual quote from a Battle of Britain pilot tells of the dogfights between these two fighters in 1940. As the Allies forced their way across Western Europe in 1944 getting ever closer to Germany itself, the defending forces of the Luftwaffe put up fierce resistance using such fighters as the Focke Wulf Fw190A-8. These often came in contact with the formidable Hawker Typhoon, who were undertaking ground attacks. 2 model options USAAF Hawaii December 1941 Imperial Japanese Navy 1941 2 model options Spitfire 1A – 609 Squadron F/Lt.
