Aircraft :
Powered flight started at the beginning of the 20th century but it was warfare that pushed the boundaries as more speed, more power and better weapons were needed.
After World War I, these advances led to commercial flight but just for the rich at first.
It was not until long after World War II that commercial flight became available more widely.
Modern passenger aircraft carry large numbers of passengers all over the world.
Military aircraft have come a long way also (mainly due to the use of the jet engine and aircraft carriers which can transport fire power anywhere in the world at short notice).
Most aircraft models we stock are military aircraft from World War II but we often have other military aircraft and other commercial aircraft in stock.

Circuses and traveling fairs have always needed transportation as a massive amount of equipment must be transported from town to town for each performance.
In the U.S.A., where massive distances are involved special railway trains have been used, but in Europe road transport is well suited.

Some vehicles appear in the traditional Guinness blue whilst other vehicles have the more recent black livery. Trucks, vans and buses are available with the past and present dual box sets which are always very popular.
Military :
For more than one hundred years there has been a need for motorised military vehicles.
One of the best known of these vehicles is the tank. The tank first saw service in World War I but these tanks were slow, hard to manoeuvre and could be as dangerous to their own crew as it was to their enemy.
With the outbreak of World War II there was much progress in three key areas which were the protection of the crew with thicker sloping armour, the longer main armament for greater range and penetration and improved engines which were capable of higher speeds and had greater range.
Tanks of recent times have very advanced weaponry, protection and performance but can still be very vulnerable to modern weapon systems.
All these armoured vehicles are only as good as their supply lines which normally consist of trucks, armoured cars, jeeps and halftracks many of which are also available as collectors models.
We have a selection of various military vehicles in stock with vehicles suitable for collectors, war gamers and diorama makers.
