Once production had started, it was decided that the Hotspur was too small to be used in operations. Instead, due to the good handling characteristics, it became the main training glider for the Army and over 1,000 were produced, mainly by furniture manufacturers. This exhibit is a composite replica containing the original rear fuselage of HH379.

A pre-production Cobra was evaluated by the Army at EGVP in July 1967. The results were impressive but the trial generated numerous complaints from the locals about excessive noise. This example on display served with the US Army in Germany and Korea.

The Kirby Kite was developed in the 1930s as a civilian sport glider. Upon the outbreak of WWII almost all Kits were impressed into military service by the RAF. A Kirby Kite was also used in 1940 radar detection trials to discover if wooden gliders (aircraft) could be detected by coastal early warning systems. This glider was previously allocated the registration G-ALNH.

The Bird Dog was developed in the late 1940 as an obervation and liason aeroplane for the US Army. The type was flown by UK Army pilots during the Korean War in support of ground troops and was, in fact, preferred by many British officers to the Auster Mk.9. The US Army presented this example to the MoAF in 1982.

This is a pre-production Lynx and has the claim to fame in that it was the first helicopter to do a barrel roll. This was enabled by the innovative rotor head design that even allowed it to fly backwards at up to 80 mph. XX153 was used for training, air shows and equipment trials before being restored to static display standard by trainees at Westland Helicopters.

This is a pre-production Lynx and has the claim to fame in that it was the first helicopter to do a barrel roll. This was enabled by the innovative rotor head design that even allowed it to fly backwards at up to 80 mph. XX153 was used for training, air shows and equipment trials before being restored to static display standard by trainees at Westland Helicopters.

The Skeeter was the first helicopter to serve with the UK Army. The type had many problems and shortcomings, however, it proved how useful helicopters could be. This example entered service in 1959 and flew for the Army in West Germany.

On 13th September 1989, immediately after take off from Netheravon, Wiltshire the port cyclic servo jack failed causing the nose to pitch up and the tail rotor to strike the ground. The nose then pitched down and the aircraft rotated into the ground. Fortunately, the three passengers and the pilot were uninjured. The helicopter was deemed to be beyond economic repair and stored at Wroughton until allocated for ground instruction at the Army's School of Electrical and Aeronautical Engineering at EGVP. It was later rebuilt to static display standards, and is now a gate-guard for the museum.

This Huey was operated by the 601 Combat Aviation Battalion and was one of six deployed to the Falklands prior to the war. Upon capture, AE-409, AE-413 and AE-422 in were used by the British Army to ferry freight and deliver mail around the islands. The first two were painted white by the Argentinians for use in casualty evacuation and AE-409 still retains this white colour as it is now on display at this very interesting museum.
