This Javelin made the last ever flight of type when it was delivered to Duxford in January 1975, after service with the A&AEE at Boscombe Down where chase and calibration work had included trials as part of the SC.9, Concorde and MRCA programmes. It was orinaly built as an FAW.7 and served 5, 25 and 33 Sqdns before acquiring the high visibility paintwork with A&AEE. My shot here shows it taking off from Coltishall in 9173

Actually a P-51D built by North American at Inglewood for the USAAF as 44-73979, taken on strength by the RCAF as 9246 in December 1950. Grounded after an accident in May 1951.

Floats removed during the current AirSpace reorganisation upheaval. Duxford's Sunderland was built by Short Brothers at Rochester as the first production Mk V. The primary improvement over the Mk III was the replacement of the 965hp Bristol Pegasus engines by 1,200hp Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasps. After postwar Aeronavale service, the aircraft became badly derelict and a massive restoration effort by Duxford Aviation Society volunteers from 1976 and through the 1980s brought it back to the superb condition in which it is now on show

This 1957-vintage Whirlwind saw action with several different Naval Air Squadrons (845, 820, 701, 848, 847 & 705) and when reading the service history of such old generation helicopters it is notable just how many incidents and mishaps they were involved in. To RNAY Wroughton in December 1974 and Duxford by road in October 1975. Now one of only two aircraft that remain suspended from the AirSpace roof

This 1957-vintage Whirlwind saw action with several different Naval Air Squadrons (845, 820, 701, 848, 847 & 705) and when reading the service history of such old generation helicopters it is notable just how many incidents and mishaps they were involved in. To RNAY Wroughton in December 1974 and Duxford by road in October 1975. Now one of only two aircraft that remain suspended from the AirSpace roof

The Mk.24 was the final variant of the Spitfire and this particular aircraft, built by Supermarine at South Marston in 1947, saw RAF service in Hong Kong with 80 Sqdn and later with the Royal Hong Kong Defence Force until 1955. After local refurbishment in 1983 it went on show outside RHKAAF HQ at Kai Tak for five years

A composite restoration of this Lysander using components from RCAF 2341, 2349 and 2391 was carried out by Kermit Weeks in Florida prior to the aircraft being repatriated to Duxford in 2003. A long rebuild led to a first flight in August 2018

Painted to represent a Liberator of the 392nd Bomb Group based at Wendling, Norfolk in WWII, this was in fact the last active B-24 with the USAF and was used by the Aeronautical Icing Research Laboratory as an EZB-24M. After crashing in 1951 it was repaired and placed on static display at Lackland AFB, TX from 1956 until donated to the IWM for the new American Air Museum at Duxford in 1999
