'Battle of Britain Operations Room' Set
Model: RAF081

Four WAAF personnel and a male RAF sergeant stand alongside a large wooden heptagonal table on which is displayed a sectional map of southeast England and part of northern France and Belgium.
Each of the WAAFs holds a long, wooden croupier-style pushing stick with which small wooden markers representing either an enemy raiding force or a friendly defending RAF squadron. These markers showing where enemy attacks were and which squadrons would be attacking them would be moved around the map. Each WAAF also wears a radio headset and an attached mouthpiece to receive instructions and reply when necessary.
Behind the table is a large illuminated, tote-style panel board, which has the various airfields of the relevant fighter group and the Spitfire or Hurricane Squadrons operating on each airfield.
The K&C backdrop is based on the one that can still be seen today at RAF Uxbridge, which during the Battle of Britain was used by No. 11 Group Fighter Command.
This five-figure set also includes the 'heptagonal' (seven sided) map table and stand plus the tote-style panel board backdrop.
