This Mossie was built towards the end of 1945 as a B.Mk.35, probably by Percival, but later converted by Brooklands to TT.35 configuration with a target-towing winch in the bomb-bay, and guards on the tail surfaces and tailwheel. In 1963 it was registered G-ASKC, repainted as HJ898 (coded HT-G) for use in the film "633 Squadron", which was mostly shot in Scotland, with the aircraft operating from Dalcross. It now hangs from the roof in AirSpace at IWM Duxford.

This Oxford was built in 1940 and after an initial storage period had a fairly undistinguished wartime service. In May 1946 it was sold to Boulton Paul, registered as G-AHTW and flew sporadically as general communications aircraft. By the 1970s the plane had become unairworthy, due to glue deterioration in its wooden construction, and it is now on display in AirSpace at IWM Duxford.

This Lancaster was built in Canada, arriving in England in January 1945. However, after only six months it was returned to Canada and converted to a maritime reconnaissance and rescue role along with various periods in storage and close scrapes with the axeman. In 1986 it crossed the Atlantic again and is now on display in AirSpace at the IWM Duxford.
