HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Hawker Typhoon Mk.IB flown by Squadron Leader Basil G. Stapleton, famously nicknamed “Stapme,” was one of the most formidable ground-attack aircraft in service with the Royal Air Force during World War II. Assigned to No. 247 Squadron, Stapleton became one of the leading Typhoon pilots, known for his aggressive flying style and combat effectiveness. The Hawker Typhoon was initially designed as a high-performance interceptor, but it truly excelled in the low-level ground-attack role, where its powerful engine and heavy armament made it devastating against enemy targets.
By 1944, No. 247 Squadron was heavily engaged in operations over occupied Europe in preparation for and following the Normandy Landings. Flying the Typhoon Mk.IB, Stapleton and his fellow pilots conducted relentless attacks on German armor, transport columns, and defensive positions. Armed with rockets and cannons, the Typhoon proved highly effective in disrupting enemy movements and supporting Allied ground forces. These missions were often flown at low altitude under intense anti-aircraft fire, requiring both skill and courage from pilots like Stapleton.
The Typhoon’s impact continued throughout the campaign in Northwest Europe, where it played a crucial role in the Allied advance following the breakout from Normandy. During operations associated with the Battle of the Falaise Pocket, Typhoons were instrumental in attacking retreating German forces, contributing significantly to the encirclement and destruction of enemy units. Stapleton’s leadership and combat experience made him a respected figure within the squadron, and his aircraft became symbolic of the Typhoon’s fearsome reputation as a “tank buster.”
This 1:72 scale model is a striking tribute to one of the RAF’s most powerful wartime aircraft. Featuring authentic markings of No. 247 Squadron and detailed representation of the Typhoon’s rugged design, it captures the intensity and importance of its ground-attack missions. Perfect for collectors of World War II aviation, this replica brings history to life, add it to your collection today and honor the legacy of one of the RAF’s most formidable fighter-bombers.

Not worth the price.
Color: 2 Pack(black+white), Size: XX-Large
At best these T-Shirt should be in a 4 pack at maybe $10. Quality is not good, they are very thin, very stretchy and the collar does not hold its shape. Would not buy again.
