Fighting Cocks - Sweat Shirt
£38.00
No.43 Squadron RAF 'The Fighting Cocks'
No.43 Squadron was formed in Stirling, Scotland, in 1916 as part of the Royal Flying Corps. During the Great War the squadron operated Sopwith Strutters, Camels and Snipes. In 1926 the squadron flew the Gloster Gamecock earning its nickname 'The Fighting Cocks'. Siskins and Hawker Fury's were the squadrons aircraft leading up to World War 2. Hurricanes and Spitfires followed prior to the jet age which saw the Gloster Meteor entering service. Hawker Hunters followed, then the Phantom, finishing off with the F.3 Tornado as the squadron disbanded in 2009. This design has been given a deliberate aged and 'weathered' appearance.
