HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Hawker Typhoon Mk.IB flown by Squadron Leader Basil G. Stapleton, famously nicknamed “Stapme,” was one of the most formidable ground-attack aircraft in service with the Royal Air Force during World War II. Assigned to No. 247 Squadron, Stapleton became one of the leading Typhoon pilots, known for his aggressive flying style and combat effectiveness. The Hawker Typhoon was initially designed as a high-performance interceptor, but it truly excelled in the low-level ground-attack role, where its powerful engine and heavy armament made it devastating against enemy targets.
By 1944, No. 247 Squadron was heavily engaged in operations over occupied Europe in preparation for and following the Normandy Landings. Flying the Typhoon Mk.IB, Stapleton and his fellow pilots conducted relentless attacks on German armor, transport columns, and defensive positions. Armed with rockets and cannons, the Typhoon proved highly effective in disrupting enemy movements and supporting Allied ground forces. These missions were often flown at low altitude under intense anti-aircraft fire, requiring both skill and courage from pilots like Stapleton.
The Typhoon’s impact continued throughout the campaign in Northwest Europe, where it played a crucial role in the Allied advance following the breakout from Normandy. During operations associated with the Battle of the Falaise Pocket, Typhoons were instrumental in attacking retreating German forces, contributing significantly to the encirclement and destruction of enemy units. Stapleton’s leadership and combat experience made him a respected figure within the squadron, and his aircraft became symbolic of the Typhoon’s fearsome reputation as a “tank buster.”
This 1:72 scale model is a striking tribute to one of the RAF’s most powerful wartime aircraft. Featuring authentic markings of No. 247 Squadron and detailed representation of the Typhoon’s rugged design, it captures the intensity and importance of its ground-attack missions. Perfect for collectors of World War II aviation, this replica brings history to life, add it to your collection today and honor the legacy of one of the RAF’s most formidable fighter-bombers.

Very well designed shorts!
Size: 36, Color: Gunmetal
Bought one pair awhile ago, and now buying several more. Great relaxed fit, very comfortable, good fabric weight AND pockets not designed by morons - actually so easy to store and retrieve wallet and phone unlike Dockers and Izod and other cargo shorts I've purchased in the past. So comfortable and well designed. They're cut a little large for the stated size - but not necessarily a bad thing, and waist has a little bit of stretch. Love them!

Once you put them on, you will know you made the right decision
Size: 38, Color: Medium Tint Denim
Absolutely perfect in every way. Staring either the very reasonable price, the true to size fit, and quality. Hip pockets are deep, and can come in handy. Most don’t know that Wrangler actually started in 1904 as a company called Blue Bell, and later renamed Wrangler. Well established and a long history of top quality clothing. Although you may find another company selling for a bit less, that’s what you’ll get……Less !!?

Good shorts but they run big
Size: 38, Color: Dusty Olive
I've been losing weight and picked these up in my new size (38). It turns out these are cut for a generous American midsection, and have an elastic fit in the waist, so you can (and probably should!) safely go down a size. I got mine in 34 instead and they fit great.

Great fit, functional, most comfortable shorts!
Size: 30, Color: Anthracite Camo
These are my go-to shorts, I now have five pair in different camo colors! I suggest one waist size smaller than you normally wear, (I buy a 30 instead of a 32, because they stretch and would be too sloppy if I purchased my regular size). The large open slotted pocket on the left, behind the Velcro flap pocket, is perfect for a normal sized cell phone. Plenty of utility pockets for EDC. Since these stretch slightly to accommodate movement and sitting, they are extremely comfortable. Also, my wife says they are good looking on me, so that gets an extra star!
