Rather similar to the Avro Anson, the Oxford was more modern, and a dedicated multi-engine and crew trainer. Thousands of Oxfords were built for the Commonwealth air training schools during WWII. This one was built by the Standard Motors company in the spring of 1943. It was G-AITB from 1946 until retired at Perth - Scone (EGPT) by Airwork Services Training in 1961.

The Triplane was briefly succesful with a couple of British and French naval fighter squadrons early in 1917, but had structural and maintenance issues, and was armed with one machine gun only. The Fokker Dr.I was developed in response.

Developed from Supermarine's earlier biplane flying boats, the Stranraer first flew in 1934. Only 17 Stranraers were built for the RAF, but 40 more were built by Canadian Vickers and flown on anti-submarine patrols from Canadian shores during WWII.

First flown in May 1917 the Dolphin fighter was an innovative design. The pilot sat with his head above the top wing, affording an excellent view, but he could not see the nose of his own aircraft and use it as a reference. Armament was no less than four machine guns, of which two fired upwards, as seen here; the latter were often removed, however. The Dolphin did well in combat, but its Hispano-Suiza engine was unreliable and troublesome, and the type was quickly retired after the end of WWI.

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.

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.

One of only two surviving Ju 87 Stukas is in the Royal Air Force Museum Hendon's Battle of Britain Hall. It appears to have been a Ju 87D, converted to Ju 87G-2 anti-tank aircraft. The wings were detached at this time but this does give a fine view of the fuselage.

Thunderbirds are go? The Belvedere must be one of the quirkiest jet age aircraft to have reached operational service - 26 copies were built. Its impression of great size is mostly through clumsy design - it carried the same payload as a an early CH-46 Sea Knight or S-61.
