* Includes TG-GW052 figure!

'Betty' was flown by Canadian Ace FSLT Joseph Fall in 1917 with 3 Sqn. Fall was the only Canadian to be awarded the Distinguished Service Cross 3 times for aerial combat! He is credited with over 30 kills (some shared) but was nevertheless an outstanding pilot for his time. He survived WW1 and continued to serve with the RAF until 1945, he died in Canada in 1988.

A replica of 'Betty' is flying in New Zealand today with the Vintage aviation Co, see pictures attached. It's a beautiful aircraft and must be a real delight to see such a graceful aircraft flying again. As we did not have a Canadian soldier to guard 'Betty' we have put our French soldier GW052 with this set, rumour has it he has a French Canadian cousin in the Canadian army and therefore this seemed close enough to warrant his inclusion!

Accessories: TG-GW052 included.
