Changing of the guard RAF puzzle is a high quality 500 piece XL piece jigsaw puzzle, illustrated by Matthew Emeny.

Flying gracefully over Lincoln Cathedral, these four aircraft highlight the importance of past and present UK air defence. In this XL 500 piece puzzle by Matthew Emeny, the Lancaster and Spitfire are shown breaking away from the formation, to symbolise old heroes moving aside to make way for the Vulcan and a modern-day fighter, the Typhoon, as the RAF continue their story.

The extra large puzzle pieces in this 500XL puzzle are twice the size of a standard 1,000 piece puzzle and are ideal for people with handling or sight difficulties. Once completed, the jigsaw is the same size as a standard 1000 piece.

Completed puzzle size: 68 x 49cm

An artwork poster is included for you to reference whilst you piece together your lovely jigsaw puzzle.
