The prototype Triplane first flew in May 1916 and the type entered service with the Royal Naval Air Service early in 1917 and a total of 147 were built. It was a very agile but lightly armed type that was soon superceded by the biplanes. Often quoted as cn 8385M, but that is its allocated RAF maintenance serial.

The Vickers company began thinking about air-to-air fighting in 1912, and came up with pusher aircraft to avoid firing at one's own propeller. It went wrong in building two-seaters with a flexible gun, however, and the Gunbus, which first flew in July 1914 and first fought a German aircraft on Christmas Day, 1914, was too slow to be an effective fighter. This replica was once airworthy as G-ATVP.

About 1800 of these aircraft were built, the last of the biplane fighters. They were very strong and manouverable. Ex RAF BT474 and also allocated RAF maintenance serial 8468M (which many mistakenly think to be its cn).

The Beaufort torpedo-bomber was developed from the Blenheim and led to the more succesful Beaufighter. Reconstructed from wrecks of Australian-built aircraft found in Papua New Guinea, this machine represents a British-built Beaufort Mk II serving with No 42 Sqn, RAF in 1942.

XA847 was the first of three P.1Bs which followed two P.1As and was much closer in shape to the production Lightning design. Maiden flight 4.4.57 at Warton piloted by Roly Beamont; on 25.11.57 became the UK's first aircraft to exceed Mach 2. After a long career at Boscombe Down and Farnborough trialling various Lightning upgrades, retired to Henlow in 6.69 after 468 flights/205 hrs and placed on display at the RAF Museum in 1972 but ousted by a Lightning F.6 in 1988. Narrowly avoiding scrapping, passed into private hands and remains dismantled in Suffolk

One of the most unusual exhibits at the RAF Museum, this Belvedere spent most of its short service life between 1962 and 1969 with 66 Sqdn in the Far East. Of the 26 built, three survive; the other two are at the Helicopter Museum at Weston-Super-Mare and the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester at date of uploading.

It was very dark in this part of the museum - long exposure needed. The G-series Me-110 were night fighters; this one has FuG220b Liechtenstein SN-2 radar and was given Air Min serial AM34. Flown to Farnborough 1.8.45 and housed over the years at many locations in the UK before arriving at Hendon in 1980
