Corgi Spitfire MK VB - AB910 G-AISU Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party 1949 Scale 1/72 AA31912

This Corgi Aviation Archive model represents the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. VB AB910 while carrying the civil registration G-AISU. The aircraft appeared in this unusual civilian identity at the Royal Aeronautical Society Garden Party in 1949.

AB910 is a genuine Second World War veteran that later became an important preserved example of the Spitfire. Its temporary post-war civilian markings create a particularly distinctive model, quite different from the familiar RAF combat schemes normally associated with the aircraft.

Produced as a Corgi Collector Club Special Edition in 2006, AA31912 is an appealing release for collectors of historic Spitfires, post-war aviation and Corgi Aviation Archive models.
