Corgi Aviation Archive Hawker Hurricane Mk.I V7101 RAF No.69 Squadron Flt Lt George Burges Luqa Malta Scale 1/72 AA32014

The Corgi Aviation Archive Hawker Hurricane Mk.I V7101 is a collectable 1/72 scale diecast model representing an RAF Hurricane connected with the defence of Malta in 1941. This release, product code AA32014, depicts the Hawker Hurricane Mk. I V7101 of RAF No.69 Squadron, flown by Flt Lt George Burges from Luqa, Malta, in May 1941. Retail and model database listings identify the model as Corgi AA32014 Hawker Hurricane Mk. I, V7101, George Burges, Luqa, Malta, 1941.

The Hawker Hurricane is best known for its crucial role in the Battle of Britain, but this model represents a different and highly collectable theatre of war: Malta. The island was a key RAF base in the Mediterranean, and aircraft operating from Malta faced intense Axis air and sea pressure. The No.69 Squadron Luqa setting gives this Hurricane a strong Mediterranean identity, making it especially interesting for collectors who want subjects beyond the more familiar UK-based Battle of Britain schemes.

Corgi’s AA32014 release was produced as a limited edition, with model database and retailer records listing 1,500 pieces worldwide. It is part of the Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series and is described as a ready-made diecast model supplied in 1/72 scale.

This model is ideal for collectors of RAF aircraft, Hawker Hurricanes, Malta campaign subjects, No. 69 Squadron aircraft, and 1/72-scale diecast military aircraft. Its combination of a named pilot, a specific aircraft serial, a wartime Malta setting, and a limited production run gives AA32014 strong collector appeal.

Collector Notes

This model represents the Hawker Hurricane Mk. I V7101, flown by George Burges during the hard-fought Malta period of the Second World War. The Malta connection makes AA32014 especially appealing because it shifts the Hurricane story away from the usual Battle of Britain focus toward the Mediterranean air war.

The model is also particularly desirable because it was a limited edition of 1,500 pieces, making it a discontinued collectable rather than a current general-release model. It pairs well with other Corgi Hurricanes, RAF Malta aircraft, Spitfires, Beaufighters, Swordfish, Italian and Luftwaffe Mediterranean theatre subjects.
