A detailed DIE-CAST model for the adult collector
617 Squadron RAF will forever be associated with the most famous raid undertaken by the RAF during the Second World War, the Dambusters Raid. This is an event the Squadron rightly celebrates every year and with 2013 being the 70th anniversary of the raid, two Tornado GR4s have been specially painted to mark the event.
The aircrafts’ tail fins have received the striking design shown here and they will be displayed throughout Europe to mark the event. Despite the tail repaint, the aircraft are still very effective warplanes, remaining fully operational Tornado GR4 Ground Attack Reconnaissance aircraft. Based at RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland the Squadron specialises in using its Tornados for dangerous low level missions, as well as anti-shipping strikes and standoff attacks using cruise missiles.
