Airfix 1:72...

Fairey Battle
Flown by Donald Edward Garland VC

He was 21 years old, and a Flying Officer in No. 12 Squadron, Royal Air Force during World War II, when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.
On 12 May 1940, over the Albert Canal, Belgium, two bridges, Veldwezelt and Vroenhoven, were being used by the invading army, with protection from fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft and machine-guns. The RAF was ordered to demolish one of these vital bridges, and five Fairey Battle bombers were despatched with Flying Officer Garland leading the attack. They met an inferno of anti-aircraft fire, and the bridge was hit but not put out of commission. Garland and his navigator, Sergeant Thomas Gray, attacked the bridge at Veldwezelt. They died either crashing in the village of Lanaken, or in the hospital in Maastricht, Netherlands. Only one bomber managed to return to base. The VC was a posthumous one.

one of the most unusual models i made was of a Boulton & Paul NFL Defiant ,gave the germans a suprise the first time they encountered it ,thinking it was a Hurricane they decided to attack them from behind and got a shock! cos  at the back of the defiants cockpit is a power turret armed with 4 .303 calibre machineguns ...
