The Whirlwind was a single-seat twin-engine fighter-bomber aircraft introduced in 1940. Only 114 Whirlwinds were built, 2 prototypes and 114 production Mk.I's. At least At least 67 Mk.II conversions were made from the original Mk.I. The Mk.II was fitted with under wing bomb racks and was nicknamed "Whirlibomber". During the Second World War, only three RAF squadrons were equipped with the aircraft and, despite its success as a fighter and ground attack aircraft, it was withdrawn from service in 1943.

The Bloch MB.200 was a bomber designed in the early 1930s and built from 1935 onwards for the l'Armee de l'Air. It was also built under license in Czechoslovakia by Aero which received an order for 124 bombers and subcontracted 70 to Avia. When Germany conquered Czechoslovakia the Luftwaffe used the surviving beute-flugzeugen for their training schools and delivered some of them to the Bulgarian air force.

There would be three Hunter prototypes build but the very first was WB188, the real prototype. It's first flight was on 20 July 1951 at Boscombe Down. Later this one would be rebuild as the Hunter Mk.3 which was used for some speed records. It survives in this form at the museum at Tangmere, Sussex.

After the fall of France in June 1940 large numbers of the Martin 167F A-3 were flown to the French Mediterranean / North African colonies and were inducted in to the armed forces of the Vichy regime. This Aéronavale example is one of those. It is recognisable as a Vichy aircraft because of the stripes (red and yellow) on the engine nacelles and the elevator. After the events of mid 1942 in North Africa a number of Martin 167F A-3s fell into allied hands and were handed over to the Free French Air Force.

The second Hawker P.1052 (VX279) rebuild into the P.1081 to meet an Australian specification to replace the RAAFs P-51s and Vampires and therefore also known as the "Australian Fighter". The engine was replace by an early Rolls-Royce Tay engine. First flown on 19 June 1950. Because of outbreak of the hostilities at the Korean peninsula the Australians ordered the Meteor F.Mk.8 which was instantly available. Further development of the P.1081 was cancelled in November 1950 and the P.1081 was handed over to the RAE. Hawker Siddenly Aviation photo neg. nr. H250

The second Hawker P.1052 (VX279) rebuild into the P.1081 to meet an Australian specification to replace the RAAFs P-51s and Vampires and therefore also known as the "Australian Fighter". The engine was replace by an early Rolls-Royce Tay engine. First flown on 19 June 1950. Because of outbreak of the hostilities at the Korean peninsula the Australians ordered the Meteor F.Mk.8 which was instantly available. Further development of the P.1081 was cancelled in November 1950 and the P.1081 was handed over to the RAE. Hawker Siddenly Aviation photo neg. nr. H250

After the battle for the Netherlands early May 1940, a number of LVA aircraft were captured and were used by the Luftwaffe as beute-flugzeuge including this Fokker D.XXI. The three white mice on the nacelle were the symbol of 1 JaVA of the LVA. The symbol was placed on the six aircraft which were stationed at Eelde Airport. Two of them survived the hostilities.

A Gloster Meteor F.Mk.8 was modified by Gloster as a private venture into the Ground Attack Fighter also know as the Reaper (G-7-1). The modification allowed for the carriage of external Rocket-Assisted Take-Off Gear (RATOG), an added 57mm cannon in the lower fuselage and tip tanks. First flown 4 September 1950, only one was built.

Originally called the Dornier F but from 1933 onwards known as the Do-11 it was designed, developed and first flown during the late Weimar Republic years. The aircraft was officially a freight transporter but in reality was of course a trainer and the first the main heavy bomber of the illegitimately developing Luftwaffe. The Do-11 was an unpopular and troublesome aircraft with perhaps its only claim that it had an early retractable undercarriage. All in all no less then 372 of all versions build. Operated by the Weimar Republic government.
