Australia's highest-scoring ace, Robert Alexander Little, achieved his first aerial victories flying this Pup, named Little Maud, whilst serving with with No 8 (Naval) Squadron on the Western Front in late 1916 and early 1917. Found as a heap of parts in France, the aircraft took to the air again in 1973 as G-APUP after a 13-year rebuild, and was recognized as original by the CAA.

The Kestrel was a step between the straight-winged Hawker P.1127 prototypes and the operational Harrier. This aircraft wears the awkward markings of the Tripartite Evaluation Squadron, which consisted of British, US and West German personnel. In 1965 the projected Mach 2 Harrier was cancelled, and the Harrier ended up as just a straightforward development from the Kestrel.
