"Corsair"
desk model: Souvenirs from the Second World War and the 1950s. Cast from aircraft-grade aluminium, they were created as display pieces for travel agencies or as gifts for VIP travellers. Some were made by Second World War mechanics in their spare time. Souvenirs of an era when flying was still a very hands-on affair. Highly sought-after today, originals from the 1940s and 1950s are hard to come by. Roaring Spitfires from the Battle of Britain, majestic four-engined Constellations, the final hurrahs for propeller-driven aircraft.
