I picked up this older set of 1/72 German Luftwaffe crew for just a couple of £ from Ebay in May 2025. I thought it would be a useful addition to the various WW2 aircraft dioramas I was building.
The company which released these was based in Rothbury, Northumberland, UK (an area of the country relatively close to where I live) and started in the 1960's. These figures look distinctly 80's/90's to me, and several sales of the company happened since, meaning they are no longer produced (nor have they been for a very long time!).
They still come up from time to time on Ebay and other sites though. Scalemates has a short selection of their military figures.

There's one obvious ground crew (holding a flag or similar), plus a pilot with oxygen mask and another crew member in a thick jacket, saluting.
