The ground-breaking design concept of the Lightning was so revolutionary that there were serious doubts within the British aviation establishment as to whether it would even get off the ground, never mind become the front-line fighter for the RAF. Two (Prototype) P1 experimental aircraft were commissioned that went on to vindicate the design and pave the way for the superb Lightning and its nearly 30 years in RAF service.

Adopted as the RAF's basic trainer in 1953 the Provost was the last piston-engined aircraft to perform that role. This particular aircraft was delivered to No.22 FTS at RAF Syerston as WV562 in 1954 and served until 1959 when she went to RAF Henlow as an instructional airframe and received this non-flying serial. 1n 1980 she was transferred to the RAF Museum for display.

The Bristol 188 research aircraft did not fly until 1962, nine years after it had been ordered, and due to excessive fuel consumption it never flew beyond Mach 1.88 so its stainless steel construction was never really put to the test.

The York was a transport derivative of the Lancaster bomber, with a new fuselage and a third tailfin. Both RAF and civil Yorks served on the Berlin Airlift. Plugged windows on York freighters were sometimes repainted on, as seen here.
