According to the Iraqi POWs, the single most recognizable and feared aircraft at low altitude was the Thunderbolt II. This jet was seen as being deadly accurate — rarely missing its target. Seen conducting bombing raids three or four times a day, the A-10 was a seemingly ubiquitous threat. Although the actual bomb run was terrifying, the aircraft loitering around the target prior to target acquisition caused as much, if not more, anxiety, since the Iraqi soldiers were unsure of the chosen target.

BAe Hawk T.1A 'ASTRA' QinetiQ Boscombe Down, Wilts., 2007 Hawk XX341 was manufactured as a Hawk T Mk1 by BAe at Dunsfold in May 1981 and has served at Boscombe Down since as an Advanced Stability Training and Research Aircraft (ASTRA) for the Empire Test Pilots' School. From January 1984 to June 1988 the aircraft underwent a modification programme at Cranfeild to embody a Variable Stability System (VSS). The system was designed and developed by the Flight Systems and Measurements Laboratories, Cranfield Institute of Techmology (CIT) under contract to MOD (PE) D Flying. The front cockpit is fitted with force feedback central and side-stick controllers and HUD intergral Up Front Controller. Except for the parking Brake, all normal front seat controls have been maved to the rear cockpit. The aircraft has full parameter on-board recording and telemetry. The aircraft is being continuously upgraded and is currently being fitted with new colour MFDs, a Hawk 100 specification HUD, Ring Laser Gyro unit, GPS, and a new Computer Symbol Generator.

Without question Adolf Galland was the most famous ME-262 pilot of them all but the decoration on the machine he flew remains in question. The closest evidence we have to factual is an illustration that was checked and amended by Galland himself. He remained adamant that his aircraft did not carry a Kommodore’s horizontal bars but simply wore a ‘White 3’ in the usual location ahead of the fuselage Balkenkreuz as depicted on this model. Other sources place the 3 on the forward fuselage but without photographic evidence it remains unproven as to which is correct.

English Electric Canberra TT.18 - Royal Navy, Fleet Requirements Air Direction Unit, RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset 1985 The Canberra TT.Mk.18 was a target-tug variant of the B.2 converted by E.E. and Flight Refuelling. It was fitted with underwing pylons for two Rushton winches, one under each wing, employing sleeve or Rushton Mk 2 targets. The TT.18s were very distinctive with yellow and black stripes on the underside. The first conversion for the RAF flew on 14 April 1970 and joined the RAF's 7 Sqn in the July of that year. The Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm flying target facilities unit was originally known as No.776 Fleet requirements Unit(FRU) and was based at Hurn, Bournemouth, in the late 1960s.

XX895 was delivered to the RAF in 1978 and initially joined No. 16 Squadron at Laarbruch, Germany. Meanwhile, No. 208 Squadron re-formed at Honington on 1st July 1974 with Buccaneer S.Mk.2As acquired from the Royal Navy. The more versatile S.Mk.2B supplemented these later and the squadron moved to Lossiemouth, Morayshire in July 1983. During WWII, No. 208 Squadron served extensively in Egypt and in the Western Desert. Consequently it adopted the Sphinx as its squadron badge and it is the winged eye of the Sphinx that has been worn on the tail of its Buccaneers and is faithfully reproduced on this Corgi model. In 1984, XX895 was transferred from Germany to No. 237 OCU at Lossiemouth, then to No.12 Squadron and finally to No. 208 Squadron in 1989 until its retirement in December 1993. New 1:72 scale Buccaneer features clear canopy with pilot figure, interchangeable undercarriage, bomb bay detail, authentic armament, opening air brakes and faithfully reproduced livery.

Shipping on this model is $7.50 in the USA

Some thirty+ Meteor F.8s were converted to a simple target tug configuration and redesignated "Meteor F(TT).8". The only modification was the fitting of a target towing lug under the fuselage, allowing the aircraft to pull a target banner along. To facilitate target-towing for No.20 Squadrons’ Hunters and No.74 Squadron’s Lightning’s based at Tengah, Singapore in the 1960s, No.1574 Flight flew a small number of Meteor F(TT)8 from nearby Seletar for target-towing duties, operating off the coast of Singapore until they were withdrawn from use in 1971.

The Skyblazers were formed in 1948 and carried on through to 1962. The team would receive official status as a team in 1950 and were originally from the 22nd Fighter Bomber Squadron which was part of the 36th Fighter Bomber Group. They were equipped with four F-80Bs Shooting Stars and were stationed at Furstenfeldbruck, West Germany. The entire Wing began to transition to the F-86F Sabre during 1953. HQ USAFE decided that they wished to have the team transferred to the 48th Fighter Wing which meant that the 86th FW Skyblazers flew their last F-84E equipped airshow during July 1953.

For training Jaguar pilots, all the Jaguar squadrons were allocated a handful of Jaguar T.2 two-seaters, which have been pooled among the Jaguar squadrons between major servicing and overhaul.

Their motto Operta Aperta, meaning, "hidden things are revealed", also refers the reconnaissance role to the Sqn.

The B-52F differed from the earlier variants in that it was powered by 13,750 lbst J57-P43W engines with water injection. The B-52Fs were standard strategic bombers with racks fitted in the standard bomb bay, which held a total of twenty-seven 500, 750 or 1,000 pound bombs. Following withdrawal from combat in 1966, the B-52Fs returned to the continental United States as part of SAC's nuclear deterrent alert force. Retaining their Vietnam camouflage, the B-52Fs remained in service until the last one was retired on 7th December 1978. The Corgi model depicts 55-7148 of the 328 Bomb Sqn., 93rd Bomb Wing, which wears the 2nd Air Force logo on the tail.

To provide airborne targets for the USAF and the U.S. Navy, eight early model C-130A Hercules were converted to carry up to four drones on underwing pylons, capable of release at altitudes up to 35,000 ft. Originally designated GC-130A, the aircraft carried a seven/eight man crew, who operated the release, control and monitoring equipment. Systems developed for the redesignated DC-130A were compatible with the whole range of Ryan and Northdrop drones ordered for the USAF and U.S. Navy. Of the eight conversions all were delivered initially to the USAF, but in 1969 two were updated and transferred to the U.S. Navy, being delivered to VC-3 squadron at North Island Naval Air Station, California. The first of these was 158228 (construction number 3048), which was initially serialled 55-0021 when delivered as a C-130A to the USAF in February 1957.
