Written off (damaged beyond economical repair) 11 May 1967: Suffered a heavy landing at Manston, Kent. Damage was only slight but with the impending withdrawal from service of the Javelin XH764 was struck off charge as Cat.5(G/I) and allocated to 7972M. As a result, XH764 was put on display at Manston. Ironically XH764 had been en route to 27 MU, RAF Shawbury for storage pending disposal, as 29 Squadron had just re-equipped with the Lightning F.3. XH764 (7972M) was scrapped by Hanningfield Metals, Stock, Essex, by April 1990.

This aircraft transported President-elect Dwight D Eisenhower on his inspection trip to Korea in December 1952. It was reportedly also used by Jack Benny and Marilyn Monroe on United Service Organizations (USO) flights during that conflict

An early Huey used by the US Army to test various armament configurations. In 1965 it was loaned to Bell Helicopters for test purposes with two Continental T72-T-2 turboshaft engines installed in a module driving a common gearbox under the Model 208 name. After proving the concept of dual engines in the 205 airframe, it was not pursued (until the Bell 212/UH-1N) and around 1966 the helicopter was returned to the Army in original configuration. Now preserved in a diorama depicting a well-publicised photograph from the Vietnam conflict of an air assault landing of the 9th Cavalry "Bravo Blues"

Now on display at the Ypenburg tower. (I-phone 15 Max pro)

Delivered as as AD-5N to the USN in 1954, this Skyraider operated with various Navy and Marines units, ending up with the Naval Weapons Center at China Lake. During testing at Eglin, maintenance personnel determined it had been overstressed and was no longer safe to fly. Since all nine A-1s at Hurlburt Field had been given to the South Vietnamese Air Force, this one was allocated for display at Hurlburt. Dropped from the Navy inventory in 1971, it was installed in the Air Park in 1972, painted in Vietnam-style camo as per my 1979 photo here

One of the six Hercules displayed in the Memorial Park at Hurlburt Field is this MC-130E Combat Talon I, the type known by 919th SOW airmen as "Wild Thing". It served in Vietnam suffering combat damage and in the first mission flown using night vision goggles in 1979. One of a few fitted with Skyhook recovery gear. Participating in the failed 1980 attempt to rescue American hostages from the US Embassy in Iran, it also transported captured Panamanian dictator Manuel Noreiga in 1989 during Operation Just Cause and was flown in for preservation in 2010

One of some six Hercules on display here, initially accepted as a C-130A by the Air Force in February 1957. In mid-1970 it was converted to AC-130A gunship configuration and served in Vietnam with the 16th SOS named "Ultimate End", also being involved in the rescue of the SS Mayaguez and surviving combat damage on several occasions. Reassigned to the 919th SOW at Duke Field, FL in 1975, it was retired from active service in October 1994, flying the short distance from Duke to Hurlburt Field for preservation in the Air Park

Assigned to the 346th TCS, Pope AFB, NC until October 1964 as a C-123B, this aircraft was then flown to Tan Son Nhut AB, Vietnam serving until 1967 when returned to Eglin AFB for modification to the K-model. It was deployed back to Vietnam operating from Phan Rang AB until March 1972 when reassigned to the Air Force Reserve at Lockborne AFB, OH. In October 1981 the aircraft was installed in the Air Park, representing one of the Providers used to disperse the defoliant Agent Orange, although it never flew in that configuration
