NOTES: The aerial is missing as shown in the photo.

The Corgi Spitfire MK I 74 Sqn RAF First Skirmish of Battle of Britain Scale 1/72 AA49001 is a diecast model airplane manufactured by Corgi that depicts a Supermarine Spitfire Mk I fighter jet flown by No. 74 Squadron of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the first skirmish of the Battle of Britain. The Battle of Britain was an air campaign fought between the German Luftwaffe and the RAF during World War II. The model is in 1/72 scale, which means that it is 72 times smaller than the actual aircraft.

The Spitfire Mk I was one of the most important aircraft of the Battle of Britain. It was a highly maneuverable fighter jet that was well-matched against the German Messerschmitt Bf 109. No. 74 Squadron was one of the most successful squadrons during the Battle of Britain, and its pilots were credited with shooting down many German aircraft.
