Corgi - 1:72 Die-Cast G-ILDA (SM520) Spitfire Tr9 Model
This year, we celebrate the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain and the sound of a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine flying in the skies above us still has us all immediately gazing skyward, just to catch a glimpse of the iconic aircraft which might be flying above us.
Earning an unrivalled reputation during those dark days of war which endures to this day, the Spitfire continues to inspire our nation and preserves the memory of the brave men and women who built, maintained and fought so valiantly to maintain our freedom.
Anyone who has a Spitfire story to tell is guaranteed an audience, and if you’ve actually flown in one, you can claim to have done something most can only dream of. Our growing fleet of two-seat Spitfires allow members of the public to realise their dream of flying in a Spitfire in more locations across the British Isles than ever before.
Our beloved G-ILDA, owned by Spitfires.com since 2009 is now presented in the colours of a Mk.I Spitfire flown by Pilot Officer Nigel Rose during the summer of 1940 from Goodwood Aerodrome in West Sussex!
If you've flown G-ILDA, looking to fly with us or simply want to complete Corgi's current selection of Tr9s, this highly realistic die-cast model is surely a must to commemorate your passion for, your dream of flying in or your past flight in the ultimate symbol of freedom, the Supermarine Spitfire!
