This P-51 was built in Dallas but too late to see action in WWII. It was purchased by the RNZAF and flown as NZ2406 until Nov. 1955 when it was offered for sale by the New Zealand govt. The fuselage survived for many years in storage with the RNZAF Museum until bought privately and transported, initially to the UK and then on to the US for restoration. This was completed in 2009, the plane was registered N5551D and painted as 44-13737 flown by Lt. Charles Buck during WWII. The plane is now part of the Classic Trainers stable and was photographed at the Classic Trainers Hangar 3 Open Day.

Allotted the USAF serial 53-4816 and ex N66AG. It was one of hundreds of Piper L-18C Super Cubs provided to European nations under the Mutual Defense Assistance Plan in the early 1950s.

Another angle on this magnificent machine, that was at the cutting edge of technology when the type entered service in 1971. All the more impressive as it was almost entirely developed and built in Sweden, from airframe to highly advanced electronics to ejection seat. Only the engine was an adapted version of the commercial JT8D. The AJS37 was an upgraded version of the AJ37 (Attack-Jakt) ground attack fighter. The 7 on the inlet is the marking of F7, the Skaraborgs Flygflottilj.

This remains a remarkable jet, built in 1959 and still flying in its great and typical camouflage paint scheme. The Lansen was the Swedish forces' first all-weather fighter. This one received its civil registration in May 2017. On the fin is the logo of its last operational unit, the Målflygdivisionen. This Target Air Division provided aerial targets and adversaries to support a variety of training and test scenarios.

Loaned by the Air Council to the Shuttleworth Collection in late 1959. First post-restoration flight on 28 September 1972. Here on a rare appearance away from its Old Warden base as part of the air display. The CAA later insisted all airworthy Shuttleworth Collection aeroplanes should have civil registrations, so unused G-AANJ was allocated in October 1981. The loan was reconfirmed in 1994 and maintenance serial 9239M was issued. The last flight was on 20 November 2003 when the loan was terminated and it went to RAF Cosford on 12 November 2003 where it has remained since in a dismantled state.
