Corgi AA34711 English Electric Canberra B.6 WT370, Wg. Cdr. Paul Mallorie Diecast Model

On 3rd November 1956, Wing Commander Paul Mallorie led No.139 Squadron against the Egyptian airfield at Luxor and the Soviet-made Il-28 ‘Beagle’ bombers based there. Once the targets had been illuminated, the Canberras were to return to make their own bombing strike against the airfield. With smoke covering the site and with light fading fast, Mallorie led his squadron in an audacious dive-bombing attack against the parked Egyptian bombers, to devastating effect.

The Operation Musketeer Canberras of RAF No.139 Squadron were arguably the most colourfully presented aircraft to take part in this controversial period in British history.

This die-cast model replica of the English Electric Canberra B.6 is perfect for aviation enthusiasts, offering a highly detailed, authentic display piece for your collection.
