Vans were used to transport cars on trailers to the race venues. Once there, a small car camp was set up and the final touches were applied to the race cars. As the vans were well stocked with spare parts, accessories, tools and other items, any damage that occurred during a race or rally could be quickly repaired by the mechanics at the track. The race service team ensured that the car was back on the track in the shortest possible time. Not only were the challenges of the day-to-day work on and off the track efficiently met, but these mobile service stations sometimes served as temporary accommodation for the team members. One of these vans was the Renault Estafette, based on the Citroën front-wheel-drive system, which gave it a large, flat load area, four independent suspensions, a sliding side door and a three-wing rear door. It was initially produced as a van with a payload of 800 kg, and from 1965 with 1000 kg, with a flat or high roof and a short or long wheelbase. The first models used the Dauphine‘s 845 cc, 32 hp engine, which was replaced in 1962 by the Renault 8‘s 1108 cc, 45 hp „Sierra Cléon fonte“ engine, and in 1968 by the Renault 12‘s 1289 cc engine. More than 500,000 units were produced until 1980, making the Estafette a symbol of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51336972730635,"sku":"50328","price":53.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-50328-gordini-racing-set-1160786496.jpg?v=1749033728"},{"product_id":"heller-50332-1-72-omaha-beach-battle-set","title":"Omaha Beach [battle set]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337022243083,"sku":"50332","price":19.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-50332-omaha-beach-battle-set-1160786271.jpg?v=1749029645"},{"product_id":"heller-81092-1-400-task-force-ravitaillement-a-la-mer-1968","title":"Task Force Ravitaillement à la Mer 1968","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe centrepiece of modern navies, the naval air group, or „Task Force“, allows the projection of large forces in the context of regional crises or more serious conflicts. Structured around one or more aircraft carriers, this unit is protected by anti-aircraft and anti-submarine warfare escort, followed by a squadron train responsible for refuelling at sea. As early as the 1960s, the French Navy set up such groups, the new aircraft carriers Clemenceau and Foch were frequently accompanied by Tartar recast escorts, named after the anti-aircraft system equipping the Kersaint and Dupetit-Thouars among others. Away from its home port and sometimes in hostile zones, it is then necessary to supply the group with fuel, ammunition, spare parts and fresh food. This is the role of the tanker refuellers, the first modern vessels equipped for this purpose being the Seine and the Saône. A delicate exercise, refuelling at sea, or RAM, sees several ships sailing together, the tanker often being flanked by the aircraft carrier on one side and a wing escort on the other. The fuel is transferred by means of flexible sleeves, with the goods passing through pallets suspended by a network of cables. Finally, an important detail for all the sailors embarked on these warships, the mail of the families arrives on board on the occasion of such refuelling at sea!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337031483659,"sku":"81092","price":61.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-81092-task-force-ravitaillement-a-la-mer-1968-1160786228.jpg?v=1749028924"},{"product_id":"heller-81093-1-400-escorteurs-rapides-e50","title":"Escorteurs Rapides E50","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the end of the 1940s, the National Navy was considering equipping itself with frigates more or less derived from US-DE „Canon” class destroyer escorts, fourteen of which equipped the French Navy. The preliminary proposal showed a unit equipped with a flush-deck hull as on the US-DE types but with some elements inspired by the British „River” type, six of which were also used by our national Navy. The initial proposal of 1948 provided for an armament consisting of a 105 mm canon to the rear, two quadruple mounts of 40 mm rapidly replaced by two double mounts of 57 mm open-air Bofor canons, four 20-mm Oerlikon canons, one or two wake grenaders with a cut-out of the front superstructures providing the possibility of installing triple mounts of torpedo tubes later on. In the end, the adopted configuration was for three double mounts of 57 mm\/60 remote-controlled ACAD 1951 model under turrets, two 20 mm Oerlikon, four triple mount torpedo tubes of 550 mm and a Bofors Mle 54 sextuple rocket launcher of 375 mm.

Launching took place on 14 February 1939, commissioning on 24 August 1940. The major operation in which the Bismarck took part was „Operation Rheinübung“ in May 1941, together with the Prinz Eugen, to wage trade warfare in the North Atlantic against the Allied convoys. During the battle of 27 May 1941, the Bismarck was hit several times by torpedoes. „HMS Dorsetshire“ hit the starboard side with two torpedoes and another torpedo port side which brought about the end of the Bismarck. The ship sank about 550 nautical miles west of Brest. The keel of the TIRPITZ was laid in Wilhelmshaven on 2 November 1936. Her launching took place on 1 April 1939 and the ship was commissioned on 25 February 1941. Some improvements to the design made the Tirpitz heavier than her sister ship Bismarck and to this day she is the largest battleship ever completed in Europe. “Operation Rösselsprung“ was carried out from 2 to 5 July 1942 against the Anglo-American convoy PQ 17 and consisted of the ships Tirpitz, Admiral Hipper, Admiral Scheer and smaller units. On 12 November 1944, the ship received three direct hits during air raids and sank near Tromsø.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51337032827147,"sku":"85078","price":43.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/heller-85078-bismarck-and-tirpitz-1160786223.jpg?v=1749028808"}],"url":"https:\/\/anglia-models.com\/fr\/collections\/heller-gift-sets.oembed","provider":"Anglia Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
