I wish i had,i only have 2 cards,they belonged to my late fathers mate who flew mossies and hurricanes in the war. :(

Go to the Bay or to the card sellers... its not that difficult .. and not that expensive, especially on a fairly recent set (which this must be..) .. if its that expensive, then the replica bods will be knocking them out... (actually prefer the replicas as yer dont get worried about the sunlight fading them..)

No Beaufighter!The only multi engined ones are the Mossie & Lanc.
