The Overstrand was a warmed-up Sidestrand bomber. The powered nose turret was something of a novelty. Bristol Pegasus II engines in curious nine-sided cowlings. This was the first prototype, converted from a Sidestrand. New Type number 13 at the 1934 Hendon pageant.

Built in Oct 1944, this aircraft was sent on 2 Nov 1944 to No. 19 Maintenance Unit at St. Athan.

Operated by Esquadrilha B, it was renumbered BF-13 and was based at Portela Sacavém. Due to serviceability problems, Beaufighters remained in Portuguese service till 1949. In 1965 the aircraft was presented to the RAF for preservation, being transferred to RAFM Hendon in 1971.

On display at RAF Museum Hendon. The F.1 was powered by different rotary engines built by Bentley, Clerget, Gnome and Le Rhône that ranged from 100-160hp, though the standard was the 130hp Clerget 9B. Armament was a pair of synchronised forward-firing 0.303in Vickers machine guns for the single-seat fighting scout. Hard to handle but agile, the Camel shot down 1,294 aircraft and produced aces like Maj. Wiliam Barker. This aircraft was built by Boulton and Paul and wears the markings of No. 65 Sqn RAF.

On display at RAFM Hendon. Built in 1940, this Falco was deployed with the Corpo Aereo Italiano to Belgium, reaching on 19 Oct 1940 to fight alongside the Luftwaffe. During a daylight attack on 11 Nov 1940, the aircraft flown by Sergente Pilota Pietro Salvadori suffered a broken oil pipe, after which he put it down on the shingle beach at Orfordness. The pilot was taken prisoner, and the aircraft was thoroughly evaluated by AFDU at Duxford till 1942. It was earmarked early on as a museum exhibit, finally being shifted to the museum in 1978. It wears 95ᵃ Squadriglia, 18° Gruppo markings.

On display at RAFM Hendon. Built in 1940, this Falco was deployed with the Corpo Aereo Italiano to Belgium, reaching on 19 Oct 1940 to fight alongside the Luftwaffe. During a daylight attack on 11 Nov 1940, the aircraft flown by Sergente Pilota Pietro Salvadori suffered a broken oil pipe, after which he put it down on the shingle beach at Orfordness. The pilot was taken prisoner, and the aircraft was thoroughly evaluated by AFDU at Duxford till 1942. It was earmarked early on as a museum exhibit, finally being shifted to the museum in 1978. It wears 95ᵃ Squadriglia, 18° Gruppo markings.

Restored wooden fuselage on display at RAFM Hendon. The five-crew Southampton proved to be a reliable flying boat that could operate in bad weather. It first flew on 10 Mar 1925 and was inducted in the RAF in Aug 1925, equipping No. 480 (Coastal Reconnaissance) Flight. The wooden hull Mk. 1 was powered by two 470-hp Napier Lion V engines. The Mk.I developed into the Duralumin hull Mk.II. In addition to bombs, three .303 Lewis guns were mounted on Scarff rings in the nose and midships. The most notable long-distance flight was from the UK to Australia via India and Singapore in 1927-28.

On display since 1978 at RAF Museum Hendon in the markings of I./JG 51. This Emil was built in Sep 1940 at Erla Maschinenwerk in Leipzig. The E-4 had 20 mm MG FFs mounted as standard in the wings to replace the engine-mounted 20 mm cannon. This E-4/B was field-modified with an ETC ventral fuselage rack to serve as a Jabo that could carry one SC 250 bomb. It was bounced by Spitfires from No. 66 Sqn. on 27 Nov 1940, forcing Lt. Wolfgang Teumer of 2./JG 51 to make a wheels-up landing at RAF Manston. The captured Emil was repaired and used for demonstration flights at RAF units.
