Forerunner of the MS.733 Alcyon trainer, a three-seater with fixed landing gear first flown on 11 August 1949. Its Mathis engine was quickly replaced by a German Argus As 10 engine, producing the MS.731. In 1951 two new MS.732 prototypes got retractable gear, and finally the MS.733 introduced the Potez 6D engine.

The only XC-12 ever built. Built by the Capelis Safety Airplane Company, it was registered as NX12762 on 12 Jan 1933, and first flew in the same year. It failed to attract commercial interest, and following a minor accident on 15 Apr 1938 the aircraft was permanently grounded, its registration cancelled in Aug 1938. It was acquired by RKO Studios and its unusual cockpit design was modified to look more like a DC-3. The aircraft was then used as a prop in many movies, most notably in Five Came Back (1939) and The Flying Tigers (1942). It was eventually scrapped circa 1950.

Designed and built by the late Wing Commander Ken Wallis. Remained part of his private collection at Reymerston Hall until his death in 2013. This was a highly unusual twin-engine autogyro powered by a pair of Rotax engines.

Unairworthy replica of the RWD-10 airplane. None of the original aircraft of this type has survived. Carries the LOPP logo on the tail.

This plane is a replica build from craftlab.at.

The Vickers Vulture was a variant of the Viking, used by Sqn Ldr Stuart-MacLaren for a British round-the-world flight attempt. G-EBGO, c/n 1, was shipped to Tokyo as a spare aircraft. G-EBHO, c/n 2, was originally a Type 92 Vulture II with a RR Eagle engine, but modified to Type 78 standard with a Napier Lion before it set out from Calshot on 25 March 1924. G-EBHO crashed at Akyab (Sittwe, Myanmar). With sporty American help, G-EBGO was shipped to Akyab and Stuart-MacLaren continued on 24 June, reaching Hong Kong on 30 June. This is thus G-EBGO in Shanghai on 24 July. However, G-EBGO was wrecked too landing on the Bering Sea on 4 August 1924. The crew were rescued. Photo from: Hagley Museum and Library

built in 1974 by Ralph V. Sawyer - It was designed to explore ultra-low aspect ratio wing designs and in particular the stability, controllability and capability of the configuration

Clarence Wissler's 1922 WA-6 biplane, making its public debut at the Logan County History Center. The aircraft was acquired in 2006, and underwent a lengthy and very thorough restoration to its former glory. An excellent representative of the many small local manufacturers that sprung up during aviation's golden age. A few days later, the aircraft would be raised to a permanent display suspended from the ceiling of the museum.

Displayed at the Huffman Prairie Flying Field Interpretive Center at Wright-Patterson AFB. Only a partial fuselage remains; the c/n is inferred from the "No.2" titles on the fuselage side. This fuselage is on loan from the National Air and Space Museum; a more complete example of this type was once displayed at the Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta, but its whereabouts are not currently known.

Owned by W.I. Dijkman Dulkes - Hornstra. It was the only one built, meant as plane and flying boat. Designer and builder of the aircraft, Cor Dijkman Dulkes, passed away in 2006 at 68 years old and so the aircraft eventually never flew. Current status is unknown but still owned by the family.

First flown on 5th April 1985 this is the prototype of this four seater amphibian, later supplied in limited numbers in the form of a pre moulded parts kit. Cancelled from the register in 2003, the aircraft has been displayed at Glens Falls-Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport since April 2005 and was refurbished by the local Chapter of the Experimental Aircraft Association (Chapter 353) in 2014.

The Couzinet 33 made its first flight in November 1931, clocking up 27 hours flying before departing on a flight from Paris to Nouméa. From 6 March 1932 to 5 April 1932; Emile Munch, Max Dévé and Charles Verneilh flew the Biarritz from France to New Caledonia, the first time a direct flight had succeeded. On arrival at Nouméa the aircraft was badly damaged at landing but was repaired. A second Couzinet 33 was built using salvageable parts of the first. But this aircraft crashed on 30 October 1933 in fog at Blaisy-Bas in the Côte-d'Or , France. Photo from A.Littolff family album and published.

75 Morane-Saulnier MS 225 were built for French-air force which used them as fighters until 1935 and later as training fighters . Photo from A.Littolff family album and published with her permission.

American agricultural aircraft built in small numbers. VH-FTB was written off after a forced landing at Bambaroo, Queensland, April 18, 2011.

The utility helicopter LZ-5 utilised Doman's unorthodox gimbal mounted, rotor head system with no need for flap and drag hinges dampers. The type did not go into production and only three prototypes were built, the first two of which were purchased by the US Army, as the YH-31, but ultimately rejected as the rotor system was deemed too complex for practical field repair. The third prototype flew extensively in Canada as CF-IBG and in the US, France (Paris Air Show in 1960) and Italy with the registration N812, and is now on display at this super museum.

The S.3 Springbok reconnaissance aircraft of 1923 was advanced in having a monocoque metal fuselage and initally an all-metal wing. Of the five Springboks built, one S.3a Springbok II became the S.3b Chamois, fitted with a more powerful, 450-hp Bristol Jupiter engine. The first flight was from Lympne on 14 March 1927 because there was no land airfield near Rochester at the time. In April J7295 was flown to Martlesham Heath for testing. On 2 July it showed up at the RAF Display at Hendon. The Chamois remained at Martlesham until November but the test results were unfavourable and it seems to have been scrapped soon thereafter.

The twin-engined H-24 of 1929 led to the H-241 powered by four Hispano-Suiza 9 inline engines, followed by the H-242 with Gnome-Rhône 7Kd Titan Major radials. Accommodation was for twelve passengers. The H-242/1 entered service with Air France on the Marseille to Algiers route in 1935, making possible travel between Paris and Algiers in nine hours in summer. Another route was Marseille to Tunis via Ajaccio. F-ANPB struck the breakwater at Marseille - Marignane in fog on 2 February 1938 and was a write-off. Photo by: E Michaud
