Corgi AA29201 Spitfire T.9 TE308 A58-606 Grey Nurse Sharkmouth Diecast Model Supermarine Spitfire T.9 TE308 (G-AWGB) Finished as A58-606 ‘Grey Nurse’ Sharkmouth, operated by Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar. As one of the most successful fighter aircraft of the Second World War and one which was produced in huge numbers, it can be a little surprising to learn that the Supermarine Spitfire was not produced in a two seat training variant during the war, meaning that pilots converting to this awesome machine would be making their first flight in the Spitfire as their first solo. The Vickers Supermarine company did propose the development of a two seat variant of the Spitfire to Air Ministry officials as far back as 1941. The Aviation Archive die-cast model range features 1:72 and 1:48 scaled aircraft perfect for collectors both old and new. Each plane comes with a display and optional parts. This series features the ideal die cast model planes for the young aviation fan and offers a wide range of model airplanes to collect including biplanes, fighters, bombers and modern jets. Originally constructed as a Mk.IXe fighter variant in 1945, she was then selected as a conversion airframe to T.9 trainer standard, as well as given a smart new scheme in honour of Squadron Leader Bruce Watson, who flew with this unit.
