Corgi AA36403.(C) Eurofighter Typhoon F.Mk.2 Royal Air Force ZH558 Black scheme DA2, 2nd Development Aircraft, BAe, RAF Leuchars, 1998

This item has a limited edition certificate included. The Typhoon is an agile, single seat, multi-role aircraft optimised for high altitude supersonic air combat but also capable of operating at much lower levels in the air-to-ground roles. It is built by a four-nation consortium comprised of companies from the UK, Germany, Italy and Spain. The state-of-the art aircraft is set to be the RAF's major front-line type for many years to come, replacing the RAF's Tornado F3 fighters and Jaguar fighter-bombers in front-line service. The DA2 second prototype built by BAe in Warton, UK, flew on April 6, 1994.
