AMO72332 - Amodel 1/72 HP Jetstream T2 Handley Page - WWHP113489

 Preowned, Resealed, Mint inside, Box worn

The HP.137 Jetstream began life as a small pressurized turboprop airliner, and the design outlived Handley Page itself, passing to Scottish Aviation and later British Aerospace. The Royal Navy's Jetstream T2 was a radar-nosed conversion used to train Fleet Air Arm observers, flying with 750 Naval Air Squadron at RNAS Culdrose from 1978 until the type gave way to the Super King Air in 2011. This Amodel boxing covers XX478, coded 564/CU, as it appeared with 750 NAS in 2009 wearing Royal Navy titles and the blue cheatline scheme.
