Its lifelike pose and historically faithful design make it a fitting addition to any interwar or colonial-era collection.
History: After the First World War, the RAF formed armoured car units to maintain order and support British interests in regions such as Iraq, Palestine, and Transjordan. These units operated Rolls-Royce armoured cars, using air-ground coordination to patrol vast desert territories. Airmen like the one depicted served in harsh conditions, combining air reconnaissance with ground mobility to enforce peace and security. The RAF Armoured Car Sections became an early example of integrated mechanised warfare, influencing British military doctrine in the decades that followed.
