Gemini Jets GMRAF100 GeminiMacs
Gemini Jet’s GeminiMacs series GMRAF100 replicates in 1/400 scale diecast the Poseidon MRA1 (RAF designation for the P-8A), serial number ZP801, named “Pride of Moray” of No. 120 Squadron, Royal Air Force (RAF), stationed at RAF Kinloss, Scotland, in 2020.
No. 120 Squadron, RAF
N0. 120 Squadron, formed on January 1, 1918, as a Royal Flying Corps unit, disbanded after the end of the First World War, re-established as part of RAF Coastal Command during World War II and was the first RAF squadron to receive the Boeing Poseidon MRA1 in October 2019.
Boeing P-8 Poseidon
The Boeing P-8 Poseidon is an American twin-engined maritime patrol aircraft based on the B737-800ERX. Developed for the US Navy as a replacement for the aging Lockheed P-3 Orion, it first flew on April 25, 2009, entering service in November 2013 with VP-16 “War Eagles”, USN. The Poseidon is in service with several countries.
The P-8 is equipped for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW), and shipping interdiction and has an early warning self-protection (EWSP) capability. In addition, it can operate in conjunction with the Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton, an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV), in the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance System (BAMS). However, Poseidon lacks a magnetic anomaly detector (MAD) due to its high operational altitude.
Its nine-person crew includes two pilots plus a relief pilot, five mission crew and an in-flight technician.
The P-8 uses two CFM56 high-bypass turbofan engines; pylon mounted one under each wing. It has eleven weapon stations, two under each wing, two on the fuselage centre line and five in the weapons bay.
