    Our latest Corgi competition offers one lucky winner the opportunity to own a pair of Chinook helicopter models, one of which will be the fully authenticated pre-production sample model used during the development of this release. Our recently released 1/72nd scale Boeing Chinook HC.4 AA34214 was the first model in our Royal Air Force Centenary Collection and features a particularly distinctive example of Britain’s mighty heavy lift helicopter, one of the most versatile aircraft in current RAF inventory. Sure to make a colourful impact on any Aviation Archive display shelf, this unique model duo helps to tell the story of how any Corgi aircraft model makes it through to release and is sure to be of interest to die-cast collectors everywhere.
    11 wins in August 2019 :j Thanks everyone x

    Yes - 617 & 111 Sqn's have been bomber & fighter Sqn's respectively, not Chinook operators.
