de Havilland Mosquito – 307 Squadron Project

“In honor of the brave airmen who served during D-Day and throughout the Second World War. Their courage echoes through history, just as the spirit of the olive wood keeps their memory alive in our collection.”

“Carved from of ancient wild olive wood from the hills of Layia, this De Havilland Mosquito honors a legendary legacy of international alliance.

During the darkest days of WWII, the brave Polish pilots of 307 Squadron ‘The Lwów Eagle Owls’ operated under British RAF command as a pioneering night fighter unit. Equipped with cutting-edge airborne radar, they guarded the skies over Exeter South West England, defending the nation against night attacks with unmatched skill and bravery.

This hand-carved sculpture captures the sleek, lethal lines of the wooden wonder that was the Mosquito. It has now been proudly donated to the 307 Squadron Project and is officially recognised by the Polish Embassy in Nicosia, uniting the living history of Cyprus timber with the eternal memory of the heroes of the skies.

WW2 Supermarine Spitfire

Sculpted as a companion piece over months from a single, dense block of  wild olive wood, this Supermarine Spitfire stands as the ultimate symbol of British resilience and frontline defence.
Operating under No. 10 Group Fighter Command, the Spitfires of RAF Exeter formed a vital defensive shield along the vulnerable south coast and the Western Approaches. From intense daylight dogfights during the Battle of Britain to relentless coastal patrols, these aircraft held the line against heavy Luftwaffe onslaughts targeting Britain’s vital ports and infrastructure.
