The introduction of specialised ground vehicles revolutionised airfield operations, replacing manual labour with efficient mechanised processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese support vehicles were essential to the function of bomber stations across Britain. Austin trucks moved bombs and ammunition from storage to dispersal points, while Morris tractors transported aircraft between maintenance and operational areas. Refuelling vehicles, oxygen carts, and electrical starter units all contributed to preparing aircraft for missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crews operating these vehicles worked tirelessly, often under challenging conditions. Armourers loaded vast amounts of explosives and incendiary bombs, while ground crews performed vital maintenance and repairs. During peak operations, rapid turnaround between missions was crucial, with ground staff working swiftly to ready aircraft for their next mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough less celebrated than the aircrews, these ground support teams were vital to Bomber Command's success. Without their skill and commitment, the strategic bombing campaign could not have been maintained. From 1939 to 1945, these specialised vehicles and their operators ensured RAF bombers could continue their essential missions against enemy targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set provides an authentic glimpse into the dynamic activity at a wartime bomber station, where the coordination of vehicles, equipment, and personnel was key to achieving victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003eSprues \u0026amp; decals\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eStandard Light Utility Vehicle - Standard 12hp 4x2 'Tilly'\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eBedford Truck build as either MWC or MWD\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eDavid Brown VIG1 Tractor\/Tug\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eMotorcycle - 500CC\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eMaintenance Tower\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eBowser - 450 Gallon\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eBomb Trolley - Type C\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eBomb Trolley - Type F\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eSmall Bomb Container (SBC) - with 4lb incendiaries\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eMC Bomb - 1000lb\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eBomb - 8000lb\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eLadder\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eBike\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eChocks\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003eFuel Cans\u003c\/section\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e36.2\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow many pieces will be found in the box opened by the customer?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e197\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Scale\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1:72 Scale\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eLicense line\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eAustin, Austin-Healey, MG and Morris are registered trademarks of MG Moror UK Ltd.
