This Comet nose section was on loan to the NEAM from 1984 to about 1989 but so far I have not been able to track down which aircraft it came from.

E-419 first flew on 24 April 1956 and served with the Royal Danish AIr Force, first with 724 Squadron at Aalborg. In was subsequently based at Karup and then Skyrdstrup. It was struck off charge on 21 November 1973 and purchased by Hawker Siddeley in April 1976, with a view to rebuild for resale. When plans to rebuild this and other former Danish Hunters were dropped, the aircraft was donated to the North East Aircraft Museum and moved there on 9 February 1977. It has since been refurbished and is now displayed under cover.

NEAM, as it was known back then, acquired WL181 in 1975 after nearby RAF Acklington closed in 1974. It had languished there since being SoC in 1971, used for lifting practice by the resident rescue Whirlwinds. I'd last seen the aircraft there, a mere 48 years earlier. Its flying career saw service with Tangmere Station Flight, 34 Sqdn, CAW and Advanced Jet Refresher Squadron (Strubby) until going to 5MU in 1965, but it is now exhibited in 92 Sqdn colours.

This F-86D came off the line at Inglewood, CA in 1953 and was assigned to Air Defence Command, initially with the 37th FIS, Burlington, VA and then in late 1954 to the 325th FIS, Hamilton, CA. It was with this unit in 1955 that it flew in the short-lived 'Sabre Knights' aerobatic team, in whose colours it is now displayed. The rest of its career was in Europe, with the 512nd FIS Bentwaters and later Sembach in W Germany. In late 1959 it was prepared by Fiat at Turin under the MAP programme for the Greek AF with whom it operated as 6171, eventually reaching the museum in 1987.

Acquired by the museum from BAe in 1988, WJ639 was built by Handley Page at Radlett as a B.2, flying with 57 Sqdn Coningsby until conversion to TT.18. Used by BAC, the A&AEE and Flight Refuelling for a series of trails before joining 7 Sqdn at St Mawgan, where it finished its service on the squadron's closure at the end of 1981 and was sold back to BAe. Initially displayed in its final camouflage colours with the target towing yellow/black undersides.

Acquired by the museum from BAe in 1988, WJ639 was built by Handley Page at Radlett as a B.2, flying with 57 Sqdn Coningsby until conversion to TT.18. Used by BAC, the A&AEE and Flight Refuelling for a series of trails before joining 7 Sqdn at St Mawgan, where it finished its service on the squadron's closure at the end of 1981 and was sold back to BAe. Initially displayed in its final camouflage colours with the target towing yellow/black undersides.

Looking smart after a very lengthy repaint that began in 2011, XL319 was flown into retirement at Usworth in January 1983 after just over 21 years of service with 617, 44 and 83 Sqdns at Waddington and Scampton.
