The initial idea was for a vehicle that could be used to transport a squad of infantry to the battlefield protected from enemy small arms fire, and with some protection from artillery fire.
Variants were produced for specialized purposes, including anti-aircraft guns, rocket launching (with 3 large rockets fitted on either side of the vehicle) as well as a version with an infra-red search light used to spot potential targets for associated Panther tanks equipped with infrared detectors.

This famous aircraft was the World's first jet airliner and introduced accessible air travel to the travelling public.

British Overseas Airways Corporation was a direct predecessor of British Airways. It was one of the most innovative and popular airlines of the 1950s and 60s. BOAC's Comet 4 began its scheduled operations from London to New York three weeks ahead of Pan Am with its Boeing 707.

Scale 1:72 REF SKN85429
A fine solid die-cast model from Forces Of Valor. This 1:72 scale mode comes with detachable undercarriage and display stand. The powerful Hawker Hurricane was not as celebrated as the Supermarine Spitfire but unbeknown to most, it had more enemy kills than all others in the U.K. arsenal.
As the most numerous of fighter aircraft and aircraft squadrons, the Hurricane shouldered most of the attacks by the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain। The Hurricane forced the Luftwaffe to commit its BF109's and BF110's to protect its long range bombers. Details on how to buy this great model are available on the die-cast-collector website.
