<p>This Halifax was intercepted by 2 Fw200C Condors of 7/KG40 on 14th april 1943 over the Bay of Biscay whilst towing a Horsa glider from UK - North Africa. Both the Halifax and Horsa were forced down into the sea. The Halifax crew were seen (and photograhed) getting into their dinghy but were never recovered, although the crew of the Horse were picked up 11 days later.

This is a rebuild. The kit was originally (not) finished as a Mk.1 used on the 1,000 bomber raid on Clogne in May 1942.
