The registration leads one to believe that this was the first Dutch DC-3, but PH-ALI had a lower construction number and was delivered almost six months earlier. PH-ALH captured by the Germans. Used by Lufthansa as D-ABUG and by KG 200 of the Luftwaffe into 1944. Photo from: Amsterdam City Archives

Ex G-ACWJ. Privately owned but tested by the Dutch army during an exercise on 7 July 1936. Pilot Lt Hein Schmidt-Crans crashed at Soesterberg that afternoon, suffering a downdraft and hitting two busses filled with children. No one was hurt but the autogyro was 'crushed'. Registration cancelled in January 1938. Wreck was returned to Cierva at Hanworth in 1938. Impressed as AP508 in June 1940 for radar calibration. Ditched off Seaton by P/O Raymond Pullin on 16 April 1941. Photo from: Nederlands Instituut voor Militaire Historie

C-47s seemed to ignore the Iron Curtain. Ex 43-15073, OK-XDM served with ČSA from 1946 until 1960. It was sold to France, then to Yugoslavia and is on display at Merville, Normandy since 2007. Note: ex Panagra DC-3 N18119 (c/n 1995) was on display as "OK-XDM" for some time. In the foreground is a LOT Polish Airlines C-47A, SP-LCE, ex 42-100826 (c/n 19289). This one ended up in Iran. LHBP airport was dedicated in 1950. The concrete control tower was apparently thought to be pretty as there were two of them, for reasons of symmetry only. Photo from: Fortepan

Amelia Earhart posing with what may have been the prototype of the PCA-2 autogryo, built in 1930. Photo presumably taken at Pitcairn Field on 8 April 1931, when Amelia took this machine to an altitude of 18,415 feet (5613 m) - not an official record. She flew across the USA a month later in another PCA-2, NC10780. Photo from: Smithsonian Institution

The first of six Rangoons. They served mostly outside the UK. The service life was brief - 1931 to 1935. S1433 was stripped of military equipment and registered G-AEIM in 1936. It was flown by Air Training at Hamble training Imperial Airways crews. G-AEIM was scrapped in 1938. Photo from: air Force Museum of New Zealand

The small Peto was designed to operate from submarines. The aircraft was housed in a waterproof hangar and catapulted over the bow. After the aircraft alighted next to the sub, a crane would lift it back on deck. Tested on the sub HMS M2 until N181 was damaged at Gibraltar. It was rebuilt with several improvements and given the new serial N255. Lost with HMS M2 and all its 60 crew on January 26, 1932. The sub and plane were left on the bed of Lyme Bay after a failed salvage attempt. A second Peto, N182, crashed in 1930. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

Undated photo of a mishap involving NZ103. It was written off in a forced landing near Christchurch on February 6, 1940. The location of the photo is given as Taupo. The present Taupo airport opened in 1965. Tauhara aerodrome had been Taupo's airport until then. Part of it remained in use at the time of upload for the Taupo Gliding Club. Most of the old Tauhara aerodrome has been redeveloped for horse and motor racing. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

This was the second Seaford. After a brief loan to BOAC it returned to the RAF as a transport. However NJ201 was rejected by the Transport Command. About 1949 Short installed a streamlined nose and Solent style wing floats. It was eventually sold to Aquila Airways in 1953 as a Solent III (G-ANAJ) although it was only a partial conversion compared with Seafords converted for BOAC.

Originally built for an Australian customer, L9786 was passed to the Air Ministry after the order was cancelled. Short fitted it with a central float that was a scale replica of that used on the Sunderland. L9786 was delivered to Felixstowe where it continued to be used for test flying for many years. It crashed into the River Clyde on March 14, 1944 while deployed to RAF Helensburgh in Scotland. Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

Little is known about this Bf109 captured by the Australians. It was used by 3 Squadron as a hack, hence the serial HK849. This is not an official RAF or RAAF serial. There is a photo of the fuselage of this aircraft and another Bf109 fuselage on a large stack of scrap metal in Egypt They were trophies not worth saving as the war and 3 Squadron moved across the Mediterranean to Italy, Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand
