Magnificent machine about to touch down for the 1977 IAT, from 415 Sqn, Summerside, PEI. The Argus was a unique hybrid that employed the wings, tail surfaces and undercarriage of the Britannia, married to a new unpressurised fuselage of Canadian design and US engines. 10736 was stood down in 9.81 when replaced on maritime patrol by the CP-140 Aurora and scrapped

A unique Hunter which served as one of the RNAF's 20 T.7s (the only one in camouflage) between 1959 and 1965 when it joined the NLR for experimental work. Last flight 22nd January 1980; unfortunately plans to keep it in flyable condition failed and it was scrapped. The cockpit was saved along with the wings, the latter now in a composite airframe at Long Marston made up from about six different aircraft but based upon XJ714

This unique one-off was a Hunter F.Mk.6 converted by Hawker to two seats. Initially fitted with Head-Up Display for TSR2 trials but later used for research by RAE Farnborough and RRE Bedford for Harrier avionics tests. Crashed on take-off from Farnborough after compressor disintegration on 18.3.82. Pilot ejected safely

This unique one-off was a Hunter F.Mk.6 converted by Hawker to two seats. Initially fitted with Head-Up Display for TSR2 trials but later used for research by RAE Farnborough and RRE Bedford for Harrier avionics tests. Crashed on take-off from Farnborough after compressor disintegration on 18.3.82. Pilot ejected safely

Among the first of 18 Noratlas transports presented to Portugal by the West German AF in 1965, and ex GA+235. Another 12 (N.2502's) came from France, six ex-factory and six ex-civilian. Widely used in Portugal's African interests, they were declared surplus from 9.77; this one is not among the few that survived

Unfortunately a rather grey day but a spectacular performance nonetheless. This 1961 Troopship was the first to be withdrawn (1993) and is now preserved in its later colourful display livery near Soesterberg

Always an impressive type to see, the A-3 was never common in the UK but this one took a break from its ELINT duties to fly up from VQ-2 at Rota in Spain for the 77 Air Tattoo. Damaged during a carrier launch in 9.87 and retired to AMARC in 11.90. Rear fuselage apparently used to repair another damaged aircraft, 144856
