XL427 was completed in September 1962 before being equipped to carry the Blue Steel missile and issue to 83 Sqdn. In 1969 it was transferred to the Scampton Wing and 617 Sqdn and is seen here with 230 OCU. In August 1982 it was retired to RAF Machrihanish for fire practice as 8756M and at one point had its undercarriage deliberately blown off in an explosion

First flown as Sud SA.330A F-ZJUX in June 1968, XW241 was modified to SA.330E and delivered to Westland in October 1968 as a Puma pattern aircraft. Seen here in operation with RAE Bedford, it was struck off in November 1988 and stored, latterly at Farnborough. Since 2007 it has been on display at Farnborough Air Sciences Trust in the RAE 'Raspberry Ripple' colours as last operated.

Part of a batch of 110 Hunter F.6s, XG194 served 43, 111 and 92 Sqdns before modification to FGA.9 and allocation to 229 OCU. On being withdrawn, it was mocked up to look like a Soviet Sukhoi to train personnel on disarming WarPac types. In 2009 the aircraft was rescued from dereliction at RAF North Luffenham by the Wattisham Airfield Museum, where it has undergone restoration to its former appearance as a Treble-One Sqdn 'Black Arrows' aircraft. Indeed XG194 was the lead Hunter in the famous 22-ship loop at SABC Farnborough 1958.

Taken on charge in March 1961, XM182 was first issued to 56 Sqdn, serving in standard silver overall colours till being painted in the superb red 'Firebird' team marks in the mid-1960s. Re-allocation to 226 OCU meant a return to a more sober finish, later users being 23 Sqdn then the Binbrook and Leuchars TFFs. Made its final flight to RAF Gutersloh in July 1974 and allocated 8425M for decoy use, being sold off as scrap in October 1982.

Taken on charge in March 1961, XM182 was first issued to 56 Sqdn, serving in standard silver overall colours till being painted in the superb red 'Firebird' team marks in the mid-1960s. Re-allocation to 226 OCU meant a return to a more sober finish, later users being 23 Sqdn then the Binbrook and Leuchars TFFs. Made its final flight to RAF Gutersloh in July 1974 and allocated 8425M for decoy use, being sold off as scrap in October 1982.
