Details

Never was so Much owed by so Many to so Few. Churchill's famous tribute to RAF Fighter Command is inscribed on the plaque - the finishing touch to this emotive piece of sculpture. Cast in solid brass and heavily burnished by hand, it celebrates the genius of the Spitfire's designer, RJ Mitchell. Even today the sight of one of the few remaining 'Spits' soaring into and swooping out of the blue quickens the pulse and swells the heart. Capturing and preserving some of that magic is what this magnificent model is all about. Wingspan 9", overall height 7".

Brass

Brass - an alloy of copper and zinc - is easy to work with, can be polished to a gleaming shine, and it has a high degree of corrosion resistance, making it the traditional choice of metal for use in harsh marine environments.

Spitfire

The Supermarine Spitfire rose to fame in the summer of 1940 - the Battle of Britain. The first prototype took to the skies on 5 March 1936 and, by the time the final version retired from service in 1961, more than 20,000 had been produced.
