Intended for the US Navy, this aircraft ditched into Long Island Sound during a pre-delivery test flight from the Grumman factory. The remains were acquired by the RAN FAA as a training aid and shipped to Australia in 1966. While unloading, the aircraft was dropped into Sydney Harbour! The aircraft was cut up and trucked to Nowra where the nose section survives in fake VC851 markings as a "kids' simulator" in the RAN FAA Museum.

This Firefly was delivered to the Royal Navy on 30 June 1950. A couple of years later it was refurbished by Fairey for delivery by sea to the Royal Australian Navy, arriving in Australia in March 1953. In 1961 it was converted to a TT.6 by Brain & Brown at Avalon. After operational use the aircraft was allotted to the Naval Aviation Museum, Nowra where it was eventually restored to airworthy condition, being civil registered as VH-NVU(1) on 30 September 1986. Engine trouble resulted in a short life and the civil registration was cancelled on 31 January 2020.

This Sea Vampire is not what it seems! It is really XG770, a British-built aircraft delivered to the RAN in August 1959. After navy service it was sold to a gentleman who gifted it to the Australian War Memorial. With no wartime service, the AWM didn't take delivery of the aircraft and it was subsequently given to the FAA Museum. At various times it has been displayed wearing its own serial, XA101 and, currently, XG766.

This Winjeel was delivered to the RAAF in November 1957. Retired from military service, it was registered as VH-HWI(1) on 14 March 1989 and operated as a warbird. In April 2006 ownership transferred to the RAAF Museum but the aircraft was withdrawn from operational use on 9 July 2020. It seems to have been swapped with the FAA Museum for the prototype Winjeel, A85-364, which was formerly on display but has since been transferred to the RAAF Base Wagga Aviation Heritage Centre.

With the demise of the RAN FAA fixed-wing fleet it was transferred to RAAF in June 1983 and re-serialled A7-077. It was retired in 2001 and allocated to the RAN Historic Flight. Now in the FAA Museum back in Navy colours.

This aircraft was built as Hunter F.4 WV331 and delivered to the RAF in July 1955 and was retired to RAF Halton as a ground instructional airframe in November 1962. It was sold back to Hawkers in 1971, converted to an F.74A for the Republic of Singapore Air Force with the serial 543 and delivered to them in August 1973. When the RSAF retired their Hunters in 1992 it was sold to an Australian dealer and registered VH-JGP and painted to depict a Hunter that flew with the Rhodesian Air Force.
