Hannants http://alpha.hannants.co.uk http://alpha.hannants.co.uk/product/ROD637 Sopwith 1½ Strutter WWI Comic Fighter, 1917/18 WAS £69.99. TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! Night fighter-interceptor converted from the standard two-seat 1½ Strutter in late 1917. Modifications involved moving the pilot's seat to the rear of the aircraft and replacing the synchronized Vickers machine guns with Lewis guns on Foster mountings. This gave the pilot a better view but also made the aircraft more difficult to control. The Sopwith 1½ Strutter was called "Comic Fighter" by the pilots of 78 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, because of its unusual appearance and handling characteristics. A very limited number of this version served in the British Home Defence units, fighting against German raiders (Gotha bombers and R-planes) from late 1917 to early 1918. The aircraft was difficult to control and had a limited range, leading to the type's early withdrawal. Markings for 2 aircraft: (1) Hooper-built w/n A6906, No 78 (HD) Sqn RFC, based at Suttons Farm, flown by Lt J.S. Castle, December 1917; (2) w/n B762, No 78 (HD) Sqn RFC, based at Martlesham Heath during summer/autumn 1917 and reallocated to Home Defence in August 1917. This aircraft was not assigned to any one pilot in particular..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! Intercity bus designed in the mid-1930s by Yellow Coach for one of the largest US coach companies, Greyhound Lines. The bus was a revolution in auto construction; corrugated aluminium and plastic materials were widely used in its build. Special attention was paid to maximum comfort for passengers. Following the construction of a wide network of high-quality highways during the Great Depression, rail passenger traffic almost stopped due to its inability to compete with high speed road transport. Series construction was undertaken at the Pontiac West Assembly plant in Pontiac, Michigan, where General Motors built pick-ups and trucks. In addition to Greyhound Lines, buses of this type were used by other national carriers such as Trailways Travels. Silverside bus operations continued almost until the end of the 1950s, after which a large number were sold to other countries, notably in Latin America..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! Specialized German communications vehicle converted from the G81A car. In order to install the sizeable radio equipment the car body was partly rebuilt and fitted with radio coils, cables and other dedicated equipment. These vehicles were used primarily in radio field units and sometimes in Wehrmacht reconnaissance units. Despite the relatively small number of such vehicles, they were operated intensively, lasting almost until the end of World War II on both the Eastern and Western fronts. Additional parts for radio equipment cabin, roof rails, shovel etc. Choice of 2 registration numbers on the decal sheet for German military units in Ukraine, July 1941, & North Caucasus 1942..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! The North-American AJ-1 Savage was a US carrier-borne bomber designed in the 1940s. Its main task was to carry and deliver a nuclear weapon, which at that time, due to its size, had to be deployed by aircraft near the target zone. Series production began in 1949 and continued until 1952 when a greatly improved AJ-2 version appeared. Due to frequent accidents during take-off and landing from aircraft carriers, it was decided to use the AJ-1 mainly for training, or as a bomber with conventional weapons. As the AJ-2 overcame the earlier shortcomings the AJ-1s were retrofitted to AJ-2 configuration and operated again from deck carriers with nuclear weapons. After retirement from the bombing role, they were employed as air-to-air refuellers. The AJ-1 was assigned to aircraft carriers sent to the South-East Asia region after the start of the Korean conflict, but no aircraft of this type were involved in this war or afterwards. New tooling. Markings for 3 aircraft: (1) AJ-1 BuNo 122591/NB2, USS Coral Sea (CV43) "Savage Sons", April 1950; (2) AJ-1 BuNo 174176/NB8, USS Coral Sea (CV43), August 1952; (3) AJ-1 BuNo 124176/NF4, USS Kearsarge (CV-33), July 1952..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!! developed from the Boeing C-135 transport in the 1960s. The main tasks of the RC-135V and RC-135W are to identify sources of radio signals in the area of potential combat operations, collect information on land, sea and air targets, intercept radio communication between command posts and combat units, and monitor enemy air defences. Depending on deployment the aircraft crew can include 12 to 16 surveillance operators and analysts for the purpose of operational data collection. Usually the RC-135V and RC-135W perform airborne command tasks together with other reconnaissance aircraft such as the E-3 AWACS, transmitting the gathered intelligence through a special encrypted communication channel. The RC-135V and RC-135W have been in service with the US Air Force for over 40 years and are the main type used for these operations. Three RC-135W Airseekers are in service with the Royal Air Force, converted from KC-135R Stratotankers between 2013 and 2017. Markings included for USAF RC-135V c/n 18785 AF64-845.

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! The Convair NB-36H Crusader was an American research aircraft built in 1955, based on the B-36H bomber to determine the possibility of installing a nuclear reactor and so remain airborne for a long time. The nuclear reactor was located in the rear of the bomber, and its operation was monitored via telemetry by specialists seated next to the crew in a special compartment protected by lead shielding. In all, from 1955 to 1957, the NB-36H Crusader made 47 test sorties, during which the nuclear power plant was turned on only as an auxiliary unit. Due to numerous risks, the principal of which was the unresolved issue of significant contamination in the event of the crash of such an aircraft, the research program was terminated and all future projects involving this type of aircraft were considered too dangerous..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! German passenger car built at a subsidiary of the American Ford concern in Germany in the second half of the 1930s. Based on the Ford V8 car, production lasted from 1938 to 1941, during which time more than 8,000 of this model were manufactured. With the outbreak of World War II, many Ford V8-G81As were requisitioned from private owners and transferred to military units. Choice of 5 registration numbers on the decal sheet for German military and police units ca 1938-42..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! Large German special purpose aircraft of the Second World War designed to tow heavy gliders. It was based on the He 111H front-line bomber, two of which were combined in one aircraft with a common wing centre-plane and an additional fifth engine to improve flight performance, primarily enabling the aircraft to haul heavy gliders. Twelve He 111Zs were built in 1941-1942, which were delivered to a special squadron. Their main purpose was the rapid air transport of troops or large volumes of cargo. Aircraft of this type took part in transporting supplies to the Stalingrad region; in the evacuation of personnel from Crimea; and later they had to operate on the Western Front. By the end of the war, there were only four surviving He 111Zs. Even at this time the idea of using them as long-range bombers was considered, but these intentions were never realised in the rapidly deteriorating war situation. Markings for 2 aircraft: (1) He 111Z DG+DY, Eastern Front, Battle for Stalingrad, 1942-43; (2) He 111Z TH+ZI, Eastern Front, Crimea, Spring 1943..

TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!! The Arado Ar 68F-1 was a German multirole biplane developed in the mid-1930s, the main competitor to its contemporary the famous Heinkel He 51. At the time of its appearance, the aircraft displayed very good flight characteristics, but the rapid pace of technological progress and the introduction of monoplane fighters, such as the Bf-109, immediately pushed it like all other biplanes into the background, and therefore from the beginning the Arado Ar 68F mainly entered training units. A small number of Arado Ar 68Fs were also flown by combat units, mostly in secondary theatres of WW2. The last few aircraft of this type were used in 1942..

The Packard Clipper was an American automobile first announced in 1941 by the Packard Motor Car Company, a leading manufacturer of luxury cars since the early 20th Century. By February 1942 some 16,000 '41 Clippers had been produced. When the United States entered WW2, Packard switched production to the war effort producing Packard Merlin aero engines, a licensed copy of one of the best engines of its time, the Rolls-Royce Merlin. A significant number of Packard Clippers were bought by the U.S. Army and used both at home and in numerous theatres of military operations overseas as personal transport for senior officers. At least two Packard Clippers became particularly famous when they were used by General Dwight D. Eisenhower and General Douglas MacArthur, two of the country's best known military leaders. Restyled Packard Clippers were produced after the end of WW2 but in much smaller quantities.. Price:£33.33 sales@hannants.co.uk http://alpha.hannants.co.uk/product/ROD815
