The Corgi "Legends" range presents affordable, ready-made diecast models of military and civilian aircraft.
The first operational B-25s to serve with the RAF were B-25Cs and Ds which were designated Mitchell Mk.II by the RAF. The Mitchell Mk.II served with the No.2 Group, the RAF's tactical medium bomber force. These planes were assigned to Nos.98, 180, 226 and 329 squadrons. The RAF Mitchells generally retained the retractable ventral turret since protection from below was absolutely essential for medium-altitude bombing operations over Europe. In the build up to D-Day, June 6th 1944, some Mitchell's were based in Holland, including No.226 squadron which were successfully deployed in operations in that theatre.
