Corgi Supermarine Spitfire Mk.II P8081/DU-R “Garfield Weston IV” Adolphe Vybiral Scale 1/72 AA49003

Add an important Second World War fighter to your collection with this Corgi Aviation Archive model of the Supermarine Spitfire Mk. II P8081, carrying the squadron code DU-R and the name “Garfield Weston IV.”

The aircraft represents a Spitfire flown by Flight Lieutenant Tomas “Adolphe” Vybiral of No. 312 (Czechoslovak) Squadron, Royal Air Force, while the unit was based at Ayr in November 1941.

No. 312 Squadron was formed from Czechoslovak airmen who had escaped their occupied homeland and continued the fight from Britain. The distinctive “Garfield Weston IV” name commemorated the support given to the Royal Air Force by Canadian-born businessman and philanthropist Garfield Weston.

Presented in 1/72 scale, this detailed die-cast model captures the elegant shape of the early Spitfire, together with its RAF camouflage, squadron codes and individual aircraft markings.

Why This Model Stands Out

This model combines one of Britain’s most famous fighter aircraft with the remarkable story of the Czechoslovak pilots who served with the Royal Air Force. Its name, aircraft markings, historical connection, and classic early-war camouflage make it an excellent addition to any Corgi, Spitfire, or Second World War aviation collection.
