1:32 FLYCATCHER FLOAPLANE

We are thrilled to announce the release of the highly anticipated Fairey Flycatcher Floatplane series! After 13 years of continued success with our original Fairey Flycatcher model, we've listened to your requests and are proud to present three new floatplane variants to complete your collection.

Wooden Float (32-024):
N9908/'2' - Operated as a floatplane from HMS Hermes when on the China Station with 403 Flight in 1926-7.

N9889/'8' - 403 Flight, HMS Hermes in 1926-7. The aircraft was later to serve with 402 Flight HMS Eagle, until at least 1930.

Wooden Float with Wheel (32-025):
N9664 - The aircraft served as an uncoded floatplane at Kalafrana, Malta.

Metal Float (32-026):
A Flycatcher of 403 Flight during its spell attached to the 5th Cruiser Squadron, made up of HMS Berwick, HMS Conwall, HMS Cumberland, HMS Kent and HMS Suffolk, from 1930. The identity of the aircraft is unknown, as it wore no serial on its fuselage or fin. It did, however, carry the Tudor Rose emblem of HMS Cumberland and a red and white chequered upper centre-section.

S1413 was from the last batch of Flycatchers to be ordered, specifically as catapult aircraft. For this reason, it has catapult spools fitted. It also has the more modern duralumin floats that gradually supplanted the earlier wooden items. S1413 was delivered in 1930, and in 1932-3 served abroad the cruised HMS Cumberland with the 5th Cruiser Squadron.
