This kit has an interesting history to it. It came from the collection of a former Israeli Air Force serviceman (served as a medic, as far as I know) that fought in both the Six Day War and the Yom Kippur War and, later on, became a GP in London after his emigration to the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2019. Further background information regarding the former owner\'s extraordinary life can be found at and further information about his collection, the intentions behind sharing it with others, and notable facts about the collection are available on the Internet.
