COBI release Polish Heritage Flight Hawker Hurricane
To commemorate the 85th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain and the 100th Anniversary of the Polish Air Force University, Deblin, The Polish Heritage Flight, in partnership with The Polish Airforce Memorial Committee are planning a commemorative Hurricane flight from Duxford in the UK to Deblin in Poland.This symbolic flight, undertaken by Hawker Hurricane G-HURI, is planned to take place in August 2025.
To mark this special occasion, COBI will be launching at the end of March a Polish Heritage Flight Hawker Hurricane from the Historical Collection range (COBI-5762). This set, consisting of 373 pieces in a 1:32 scale, has been created with the utmost dedication to accurate reproduction and attention to detail. It comes complete with a Polish Airman, stand and name plate.
The aircraft which proudly wears the markings of 302 ‘City of Poznan’ Squadron, was based at RAF Duxford in September 1940. They along with 303 Squadron took part in the Battle of Britain.
The sight and sound of a Hawker Hurricane in Poland will be a symbol of our eternal gratitude to the Polish People; Airmen and those who came to ‘The island of the last hope’ to fight ‘for your freedom and ours’ in the Second World War.
Since the Polish Heritage Flight was formed in 2019 it has always been a dream to bring the aircraft to Poland. It would be a fitting conclusion to a Project that has worked hard to tell the Polish Air Force story in the UK for the past 5 years. If the fundraising is successful it is planned to take in other historic locations in Poland.
In Partnership with the Polish Air Force Memorial Committee the ‘Duxford to Deblin’ project has a ‘Just Giving’ Fundraising page. In a unique gesture, every single Dedication & Message left on the Just Giving Page will be hand written into a ‘Memorial Book’ and flown onboard the Hurricane to Poland in August. This book will be presented to the Polish Air Force.
