Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series AA31934C Supermarine Spitfire Mk V Diecast Model RAF 331 Squadron , AR298, Jens Muller, RAF North Weald, England, June 1942, Great Escape Collection Limited Edition of 1000 Pieces Worldwide This is Number 0330 1:72 Scale Length Width Supermarine Spitfire Mk V 5″ 6.25″ In the Spring of 1943 Squadron Leader Robert Bushell conceived a plan for a major escape with his fellow captives from the Stalag Luft III prisoner of war camp in the German province of Lower Silesia, now known as Zagan in Poland. The camp was originally an ‘officers only’ camp and held captured enemy airmen of the RAF and other allied airforces. The location of the camp was specifically selected as it was believed that it would be impossible to escape from by the means of tunnelling, Bushell thought otherwise. After almost a year of planning and the digging of several tunnels, on the night of the 24th March 1944 the escape took place. In all 76 men crawled through the tunnel and breached the outer fence of the camp, this amazing story inspired several writers and film makers. In 1963, the movie, ‘The Great Escape’ was released starring a host of famous actors including Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and Richard Attenborough. 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the movie launch and the 70th anniversary of when the master escape plan was formed and the digging of the tunnels began. To commemorate this event in military history, Aviation Archive present the ‘Great Escape Collection’, the range features the aircraft in which the escapees flew before being captured. Jens Muller was born in Shanghai, China in November 1917. The son of a Norwegian engineer and a British actress, the young Muller had a pilot’s licence by the time he was 18 and was studying in Zurich when war was declared. After the occupation of Norway he made his way to Great Britain and enlisted in the RAF, becoming an officer by 1942. On 19th June 1942 he was shot down by a Focke-Wulf FW190 and after spending 66 hours afloat in a dinghy was captured by the Germans. Transferred to Stalag Luft III, Muller contributed to the ‘Great Escape’ by making an air pump for ventilation of the tunnel and he was amongst the 74 who escaped the camp. In the accompaniment of Per Bergsland they made their way to Stettin in Germany (now Poland) from where they caught a ship to neutral Sweden, becoming two of just three who successfully escaped from occupied Europe. After the war Muller worked for Det Norske Luftfartsselskap, one of the companies that later merged into Scandinavian Airlines Systems. Supermarine Spitfire Mk V Designed by R.J.Michell to meet a British Air Ministry specification, the Supermarine Spitfire first flown on March 5th, 1936. With its combination of beautiful fighter design, the excellent performance of its Rolls-Royce Merlin powerplant and firepower provided by twin cannons and four machine guns, the Spitfire became an unrivaled symbol of victory. The Spitfire had 40 major variants and was built in greater numbers than any other British aircraft of the time. It flew operationally on every front between 1939 and 1945 and was engaged in every one of the Royal Air Force's major actions. Corgi's 1:72 scale Spitfire series includes many versions of this famous aircraft, from Mk I to the Griffon-engined variants with five bladed propellers. The characteristic under-wing mounted pitot tube and offset radiator and oil cooler ducts are mounted below the solid metal wings with a variety of machine guns and cannons. The all metal horizontal stabilizers and rudder feature simulated fabric stretched control surfaces. On some releases, the top engine cowing is removable to reveal engine detail engine and exhaust detail. The model is constructed almost entirely of solid diecast metal and feels surprisingly heavy in this scale.
