A superb diecast replica of the aircraft lovingly maintained by the Royal Navy Historic Flight in our hangars here at Yeovilton.

It doesn't have the excitement of the Sea Vixen, the power of the Sea Fury or the legendary status of the Swordfish. Nonetheless, the Chipmunk is an extremely capable aircraft and is cherished in the memories of the 1000's of fliers who cut their teeth in the cockpit of this very pilot friendly trainer.

The BAE Systems Hawk T1 is a single engine jet-powered advanced trainer. Its maiden flight took place in 1974 and with over 900 sold in more than 10 variants it is now in service with over 18 countries. The RAF received 175 T1's which serve as advanced jet and weapons trainer. Since 1979 until present day the famous RAF Aerobatic Display Team the Red Arrows still operate the Hawk T1A. The Hawk T1 is similar to the AMX, F-5 Freedom Fighter and the Alpha Jet.

Hawk T.1 Advanced Trainer XX301 was accepted by the RAF on February 13, 1980 and assigned to No.1 Tactical Weapons Unit (1TWU) at RAF Brawdy wearing a camouflage paint scheme and used for their weapons training.

In July 1984 the aircraft was converted to a T.1A. In 1992  XX301 was sent to 151 & 63 Squadron, 2 TWU at RAF Chivenor. In February 2001 XX301 transferred to FRADU (Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit), RNAS Yeovil, May 2009.

XX301 has markings celebrating 100 Years of Naval Aviation.

In June2015 it transferred to 736 NAS, RNAS Culdrose.

The Supermarine Walrus (AKA Seagull) was a versatile multi-role aircraft, much loved by her crews for her ability to get them home and much loved by those pilot's they rescued. This is a highly detailed collectors model.

The Fairey Gannet was a British carrier-borne aircraft of the post-Second World War era developed for the Fleet Air Arm (FAA). It was a mid-wing monoplane with a tricycle undercarriage, a crew of three, and a double turboprop engine driving two contra-rotating propellers.

Originally developed to meet the FAA’s dual-role anti-submarine warfare and strike requirement, it was later adapted for operations as an electronic countermeasures and carrier onboard delivery aircraft. The Gannet AEW was a variant of the aircraft developed as a carrier-based airborne early warning platform. By the mid 60's, the Gannet had largely been replaced by the Westland Whirlwind HAS.7.

The range now includes the Fairey Swordfish Mk.I W5856 and Mk.II LS326, both of which are situated in our hangar at the Navy Wings Heritage Centre. These models feature a length of 37cm and a wingspan of 46cm, at a scale of 1/27 from the actual aircraft.

The elegant Supermarine Seafire MkIIIC (880 Sqn HMS Implacable 1945) is 1/28 scale and has a wingspan of 48.3cm. 

Other models available: Westland Sea King (SAR, Jungly and Rescue), de Havilland Sea Vixen (our own XP924), Hawker Sea Fury T20, Agusta Merlin, Blackburn Buccaneer and Royal Navy Canberra. These wooden models are individually hand made and complete with the tiniest details of equipment and livery.

Superb quality and a great addition to any home.

A superb aircraft that arrived at the wrong time to fulfil the destiny of its promise. Derived from the success of the Mosquito, this wooden based aircraft was much loved by Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown for its performance in all aspects. Sadly, it was only in production for 5 years (1945-1950) before it became another casualty of the jet age.

This beautifully detailed diecast model comes in a smart presentation box.

The Sea Vixen was the aircraft of British naval aviators for 20 years and the first in the world to have its Arrow wings which were foldable for use on aircraft carriers. In 1964, the Fleet Air Arm introduced FAW 2, a much-improved version of the Sea Vixen equipped with modern air-to-air missiles.

A diecast model of the classic vintage RN trainer, DH82a Tiger Moth XL717, now on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum Yeovilton  

The Airco DH4 was a British two seat bomber aircraft of WWI. Designed by the great Geoffrey de Havilland (hence 'DH') it was the first British two-seat light bomber to have an effective defensive armament. It entered service with the RFC in March 1917. 

It had a forward firing 0.303 in Vickers machine gun for the pilot, an 0.303 in Lewis gun for the observer and was capable of carrying over 460lb's of bombs.

The Tiger Moth was a 1930's designed primary trainer and it's long service record is a testament to its effectiveness and the esteem with which it was held. Ultimately replaced by the Chipmunk in the 50's, it was put to diverse uses including maritime surveillance. Sold to many military services around the world, the Tiger Moth is still widely used privately. These are collectors aircraft and beautifully detailed down to the bracing wires.

XL717 currently resides in the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton.

The Fairey Gannet was developed for the Royal Navy and was the first fixed-wing aircraft to combine both the search and strike elements of Anti-Submarine warfare (ASW) operated by the Fleet Air Arm (FAA).

The Gannet, originally developed to meet a WWII era specification, was a mid-wing monoplane with a tricycle undercarriage, a crew of three and a double turboprop engine driving two contra-rotating propellers. The FAA would use the Gannet from the majority of its aircraft carriers throughout the Cold War and it was also operated by the Royal Australian, German and Indonesian Navies.

During the 1960s, the Royal Navy switched ASW operations to helicopters and several Gannets were adapted to perform alternative operations, such as an airborne electronic countermeasures, Airborne early warning (AEW) and carrier onboard delivery

The FAA took the Gannet out of service in December 1978 in synch with the withdrawal of the last of the Royal Navy's large fleet carriers.

Something of an ugly duckling, the Gannet was much loved by its crews and praised for its reliability, handling characteristics and functionality.

A detailed diecast replica of the powerhouse that is the Hawker Sea Fury, replete in 804 NAS livery.

The Sea Fury represented the last front line piston engine fighter of the Royal Navy and the pinnacle of propeller/piston engineering and performance before the carrier borne jet era commenced.

Very fast, agile, versatile and capable of carrying a decisive payload, the Sea Fury was used to great effect in the Korean War (where one shot down a MiG15) and is one of the great (and now rare) icons of British aviation.

The iconic Fairey Swordfish Mk.I model.

Requires assembly and painting.

Suitable for ages 14 and over.

The Hawker Sea Hawk was widely regarded as both beautiful on the eye and also a joy to fly. Part of the transitional phase of rapid development of early jet aircraft, like many aircraft of the time, it had a relatively short service life. It saw action during the Suez crisis where it acquitted itself well in the ground attack role, but was eventually replaced by the Supermarine Scimitar. This model is in the livery of the highly respected and much missed Red Devils display team. 

The Trumpeter Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 plastic aircraft kit accurately recreates the real life British carrier-borne fighter aircraft that entered service during World War II and was used through the Korean War, during which it became one of the few propeller-driven aircraft to have shot down a jet-powered aircraft.

This is a very special and extremely rare combination. A genuine pilot's cockpit mirror from a de Havilland Sea Vixen and a museum quality, handmade wooden model of Sea Vixen FAW(2) XP924.

We don't need to say how rare the mirrors are (chickens have more teeth!) and the model is the last to be made from this series.

XP924 was the last flying Sea Vixen in the world.

As was typical during the heady days of rapid technological development in the 50's and 60's, the numbers of each aircraft that went into service were comparatively small and active service life was relatively short. The Sea Vixen was no exception.

Very few examples remain even as museum exhibits. 

The Sea Vixen was an example of the period of transition between relatively simple airframes of the early days of jet flight and the significantly more capable and advanced aircraft of later generations. A very powerful, but subsonic interceptor, it carried neither machine guns nor cannon as it was envisaged (incorrectly as it turned out) that aerial warfare had irrevocably entered the air-to-air missile age. The Sea Vixen was also capable of carrying a nuclear deterrent.

Both the dramatically shaped mirror and the model would look terrific as a combination on a desk or mantel shelf or in a display cabinet.

Please note that the mounts for the mirror vary in design and wood.

Please also note that the model depicts XP924 as she was in her final flying season and not as equipped while in service.
