This Supermarine Spitfire aluminium model is a reminder of the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940 and Duxford airfield from where Spitfires first flew. Spitfires remained in service until 1961, by which time more than 20,000 had been produced. In tribute, this Spitfire desk model has been cast in solid aluminium and polished to a high sheen such that its subtle curves and angles catch the light. 

This metal spitfire model is light, strong, corrosion-resistant, durable and uses recycled materials that would otherwise end up in landfill or the environment, reducing waste and bringing new life to discarded materials.
