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 It was a very agile but lightly armed type that was soon superceded by the biplanes.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.

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

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
