New Release AA29402 Corgi 1:48th Scale Panavia Tornado GR.1A ZA371/C Model.

Aviation Archive Limited Edition.

Tracing its lineage back to the formation of the Royal Flying Corps at Farnborough in May 1912, No.11(AC) Squadron is the most senior squadron in the current Royal Air Force. The unit served in both world wars and throughout the Cold War period and during the latter time operated a variety of classic aircraft types, including the Hawker Hunter, McDonnell Douglas Phantom and the Sepecat Jaguar, but would begin an impressive 27 year association with the Panavia Tornado from the end of 1988, only broken when they exchanged their aircraft for Eurofighter Typhoons. 

During that period, the most strikingly presented Tornados were definitely those which befitted from a temporary winter camouflage scheme in support of their deployment to Norway on Arctic operations. These combined defence and readiness exercises saw various aircraft types from different nations regularly coming together to test their capabilities in meeting the threat posed by Eastern Bloc forces in the high north of Europe, a show of strength to deter any thoughts of aggression. 

The GR.1A variant of the Tornado was a dedicated reconnaissance platform, made up of 16 converted GR.1 airframes and 14 newly constructed aircraft.

This stunning large Aviation Archive Limited Edition model is of Panavia Tornado GR.1A ZA371/C as flown by No.11(AC) Squadron, Arctic Training Exercises, Norway Deployment, 1995
