Gerry Ford Designs RAF Fighter Pilots, Battle of Britain, 1940
Limited Edition #059 of 1940. Gloss Finish. Made in England, 1990.
This hand-painted collectors' set of Fighter Command personnel of 1940 is produced to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The two Officer Pilots are joined by two Sergeant Pilots, their flight Commander and a ground crewman.
This set is also dedicated to the memory of two Farnborough brothers - Pat and Tony Woods-Scawen, who joined the RAF after attending the Salesian College. During the Battle, Tony survived 4 bale-outs and 3 crash landings! They each shot down 6 enemy aircraft and received the DFC. Then both brothers were killed in action, 24 hours apart, defending our freedom. Their cousin, Spitfire Pilot Gerald Woods-Scawen, was also killed in action in 1941.
