Various Hunters have masqueraded as Neville Duke's unique record-breaking Mk.3 WB188 over the years, but here is the real thing in which he secured the world air speed record of 727.63 mph on 7th September 1953, taking off from Tangmere and flying a course between Bognor and Littlehampton. Just a month later, WB188 came to the end of its flying life and became an instructional airframe at Halton, later serving as gate guard at Melksham and Abingdon from 1961 to 1964 and displayed at Colerne until 1975, when moved to the RAF Museum at Cosford. Loaned, appropriately, to Tangmere since 1992.

Built by Vickers Armstrong in the mid-1950s, WK281 joined 79 Sqdn at RAF Gutersloh in 1959 and was operated in the tactical fighter reconnaissance role until 1961 when the squadron converted to the Hunter FR.10. After brief storage at Church Fenton the airframe was used by an ATC squadron in Uxbridge. From 1967, WK281 was placed on display at several different RAF stations before being moved to the RAF Museum at Hendon in 1989 and subsequently loaned to Tangmere in 1994. Of the 193 production Swifts manufactured, just four complete examples remain.

Built by Vickers Armstrong in the mid-1950s, WK281 joined 79 Sqdn at RAF Gutersloh in 1959 and was operated in the tactical fighter reconnaissance role until 1961 when the squadron converted to the Hunter FR.10. After brief storage at Church Fenton the airframe was used by an ATC squadron in Uxbridge. From 1967, WK281 was placed on display at several different RAF stations before being moved to the RAF Museum at Hendon in 1989 and subsequently loaned to Tangmere in 1994. Of the 193 production Swifts manufactured, just four complete examples remain.

The current outdoor line-up at Tangmere is headed by this Meteor, which is a hybrid of at least at least two aircraft. Previously marked as VZ440, it is basically F.8 WA829, which was delivered to 245 Sqdn at RAF Horsham St Faith in late 1950 as one of 16 aircraft fitted with flight refuelling probes to conduct operational refuelling trials. This role continued until 245's Meteors were phased out in 1957.

This is a very famous aircraft which held the world speed record at 727.6 mph in 1953. This has resulted in several other aircraft carrying the same serial, though this aircraft, on loan from the RAF Museum, is the genuine one
