Product Information

Quite simply - unlike any other flying experience that you'll have been on before or indeed ever will again. Spitfires are so intrinsically woven into the history of military aviation - and that's primarily because of how crucial a role they played during the Battle of Britain as interceptor aircraft by the RAF in the UK and other allied countries during World War II. The Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb adoption is guaranteed to wow any aviation fan on Christmas morning! One hundred and forty RAF squadrons operated the type and it served on all battlefronts including gunfire support for naval units on the D-Day beaches of Normandy. This legend of the sky is sure to make your gift a hard one to beat! This Christmas, give your loved ones a gift with a great story! Adopt an Artefact from the Royal Air Force Museum and choose from more than 60 historic objects, to select a unique gift for the hard to buy for individual who has everything! Your adoption will support the preservation, conservation, educational and storytelling work of the RAF Museum far beyond gift exchanges on Christmas day.

Designed by R.J. Mitchell, then head of design at Supermarine Aviation Works in 1928, the Spitfire was in continuous production throughout the war efforts; over 20,000 planes, all with varying wing configurations, were made between 1938 and 1948.

Or go for the full monty experience with a personal Spitfire flying display (how cool is that!?). If you’re in need of a little festive inspiration take a look at the Christmas Gift Box. No Christmas is complete without a flashing red nose! These items are from a Christmas Gift Box sent to RAF personnel serving in Iraq in 2004. An idea created by Princess Mary in 1914 to send every serving member of the UK armed forces a special gift at Christmas. A thoughtful gift to send someone you can’t be with on Christmas day.
