Short Description:

Corgi Aviation Archive 1:72 Supermarine Spitfire Mk IIc of No. 276 Air Sea Rescue Squadron, produced as part of the WWII fighter series. Includes display stand.

Detailed Description

This Corgi AA31901 model depicts a Supermarine Spitfire Mk IIc operated by No. 276 Air Sea Rescue Squadron, an RAF unit tasked with locating and assisting downed aircrew around Britain’s coasts during the Second World War.

Unlike frontline fighter squadrons, the ASR units flew specialist missions over the Channel and coastal waters, providing rapid response to pilots forced to ditch their aircraft. The Mk IIc retained the Spitfire’s powerful armament and excellent performance, making it suitable for both protection and search operations.

Corgi’s 1:72 die-cast model includes:

• RAF Air Sea Rescue markings
• Detailed cockpit and canopy framing
• Correct Mk IIc wing configuration
• Clean panel and surface detail
• Display stand for in-flight presentation

A notable and less common variant of the Spitfire, ideal for collectors of RAF support units, WWII Spitfire variants, and coastal operations aircraft.
