Model of Spitfire MK IX MK923 Metal Tree Decoration
Large scale model of Spitfire MK IX MK923 in flight. The first Squadron was that of 126 Squadron at Sawbridgenorth, Hertfordshire on 10.5.1944. Given code 5J-Z. The Squadron moved three times, first to Culmhead on the 22.5.1944 and again to Harrowbeer on the 3.7.1944 and finally to Bradwell Bay 30.8.1944. MK923 first action was on a sortie on May 28 1944 flown by 126 Squadron. The pilot for this was Commanding Officer Sq. Ldr. W.W.Swinden on a shipping recon to the St. Brieuc-Ile de Batz area. S/L Swinden chose this plane as his personal mount with other pilots flying in her occasionally. June 1944 saw Swinden replaced by Squadron Leader J.A.Plagis ( Rhodesian ace ) who chose ML214 as his preferred plane more so of MK923. The plane stayed active but with no specific pilot. August 14 1944 two Messerschmitt Bf 109G's were shot down by Pilot Officer Risley on Rodeo 202 South of Paris. MK923 then left 126 Squadron after squadron were relocated to Bentwaters in Suffolk 30.12.1944. The real plane is now in a museum in Seattle.

The Charity Christmas Single for Autism and raise money for a new school bus was a great success (The now have their new bus) both CD and digital downloads were available (and still are raising money for this great cause) - the idea to produce a Christmas Tree Decoration in the form of the CD cover to present to the family who instigated it was a great success and will have pride of place on their tree for many years to come. The quality was excellent. The quality was excellent and ideal for hanging on a traditional Christmas Tree - a beautiful miniature of the "Real Thing".

I expected it to be a little plastic feel but very happy when it arrived as very good quality. My 14yo will love it for his Christmas tree decoration. Exactly the colours you see online are the colours you get, nice and bright.
