Gloster Gladiator Mk.II, Sgt. Ron Walter (1:72)

Gloster Gladiator Mk.II - N5851, Sgt. Ron Walter, 6 Squadron, RAF, Libya 1941 (1:72)

Following problems in Palestine, the squadron relocated there in 1938, reverting to the Army cooperation role with Hardies, adding Gauntlets and Lysanders later. It eventually left Palestine and started operations in the Western Desert with Lysanders in September 1940, although the squadron HQ remained in Palestine. Gradually, Hurricanes replaced Lysanders in the tactical reconnaissance role, being fully equipped by June 1941. However, in August, these were replaced by Lysanders and Gladiators, with some Blenheims and Hurricanes being added later, but all were removed again in January 1942 when the squadron assumed maintenance duties.
