1:72 Airfix 04053B Fairey Swordfish Mk.I Plane Plastic Model kit
Bring history to life with the 1:72 Airfix 04053B Fairey Swordfish Mk.I – a plastic model kit that recreates one of the most heroic yet tragic moments of World War II. In February 1942, six brave Swordfish torpedo bombers took off from RAF Manston to attack the German capital ships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, and Prinz Eugen as they crossed the English Channel. The mission was doomed to fail, with all aircraft shot down and no damage inflicted on the enemy fleet. Lieutenant-Commander Esmonde was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross, and only five crew members survived this legendary encounter.
