I have seen and believe have photos of at least two of the models which are stored at Duxford, I will try to find them and post them.
They also have the model used for the briefing of the Amiens Raid amongst others.

I certainly recall one of the models on display at Lambeth Road at the time of the “50th” in 1993.

Because at the bottom of the page is ‘Category – Photographs’ not ‘Category – Models’.

They are photographs of the models.

No wonder the mission was hard, those grand Daffs must have been woes than the flak.
